Objective:
To explore advancements in scleral lens technology and applications from 2010 to 2025.
Key Findings:
- Increased practitioner confidence and patient awareness of scleral lenses.
- Expanded indications for scleral lenses including irregular astigmatism, keratoconus, ocular surface diseases, and post-surgical conditions.
- Effectiveness of scleral lenses in managing severe dry eye disease, particularly in Sjögren’s syndrome.
Interpretation:
Modern scleral lenses significantly improve vision care for patients with complex ocular conditions, necessitating individualized fitting approaches for successful outcomes.
Limitations:
- Complications such as midday fogging remain a challenge, impacting lens wear success.
- Need for proactive identification of additional eye conditions affecting lens wear success.
Conclusion:
Scleral lenses have evolved to address a wider range of ocular conditions, with advancements in technology significantly enhancing patient outcomes.
