5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Blurry vision in scleral lens wearers is often due to poor lens peripheral fit, leading to decentration and residual astigmatism.

• 2

  Toric peripheral curves can improve lens centration and alignment with the eye, enhancing comfort and vision.

• 3

  Keratoconus patients may experience increased ocular allergy, leading to chronic inflammation and dry eye, impacting lens wear.

• 4

  Proactive management of conjunctival and lid inflammation is essential for sustaining healthy scleral lens wear.

• 5

  Utilizing questionnaires like the Ocular Surface Disease Index can help assess and improve patient comfort with scleral lenses.
