5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes blistering and scarring of mucous membranes, impacting ocular health.

• 2

  Scleral lenses (SLs) provide ocular surface protection and improve comfort for OCP patients, often requiring a multifaceted management approach.

• 3

  A study involving 36 eyes of 20 patients showed significant improvements in ocular comfort and visual acuity after fitting with scleral lenses.

• 4

  The majority of patients reported positive treatment responses, with 96% continuing successful scleral lens wear during follow-up.

• 5

  Early intervention with scleral lenses is recommended as an effective adjunctive therapy in managing OCP, particularly during disease quiescence.
