Effect of scleral lens use on conjunctival microbiota
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2020 This study aimed to investigate the effect of scleral lens (SL) use on conjunctival microbiota.A total of 26 eyes of 26 patients using an SL and 25 eyes of 25 healthy controls were included in the study. The samples were obtained from the lower fornices of the eyes using sterile swabs.

Scleral topography and its usefulness in scleral lens fitting
African Vision and Eye Health, 2021 Background: Scleral lenses are one of the best options to manage corneal irregularities and severe ocular surface diseases. As scleral lenses rest on the sclera, scleral topographical data are necessary when fitting these lenses.

Short-Term Impact of Scleral Lens Wear on Intraocular Pressure and Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness [PDF]
LifePurpose: To investigate the short-term impact of scleral lens wear on intraocular pressure (IOP) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. We hypothesized that scleral lens wear would produce a measurable elevation in IOP accompanied by detectable ...

Scleral lens for keratoconus: technology update
Clinical Ophthalmology, 2015 Scleral lenses are large diameter lenses which rest over the sclera, unlike the conventional contact lenses which rest on the cornea. These lenses are fitted to not touch the cornea and there is a space created between the cornea and the lens. These lenses are inserted in the eyes after filling with sterile isotonic fluid.

Scleral Tonometry Precision During Scleral Lens Wear: A Pilot Study. [PDF]
Clin Optom (Auckl), 2021 To evaluate the reproducibility, and therefore the utility, of using traditional tonometry devices for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), while a prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem device (PD) or scleral lens is applied to the eye.Twenty subjects (40 eyes) with keratoconus were enrolled.
