Scleral lens for severe dry eye status post lacrimal gland resection for adenoid cystic carcinoma
American Journal of Ophthalmology Case Reports, 2020 Purpose: Scleral contact lenses (SCLs) are devices that allow a fluid reservoir between the contact lens and the cornea, providing both improved lubrication and refraction. Consequently, SCLs have been used for significant refractive error in addition to
