5 Key Takeaways
-
1
A 25-year-old female experienced peripheral corneal epithelial bullae due to improper fitting of scleral lenses.
-
2
The bullae were mechanical in nature, resulting from the lens landing on the peripheral cornea inside the limbus.
-
3
Adjustments to the limbal clearance zone are ineffective for resolving epithelial bullae caused by scleral lens compression.
-
4
The correct resolution involves selecting a scleral lens with a larger vaulting chamber diameter.
-
5
The patient was successfully refitted with a larger-diameter scleral lens and remained free of complications.
