5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Fluorescein observation with a slit lamp is essential for improving scleral lens fit beyond just assessing central clearance.
-
2
Midday fogging can be diagnosed by applying fluorescein to a settled scleral lens to observe tear exchange patterns.
-
3
Adjusting the vaulting chamber may be necessary for proper alignment rather than solely steepening the lens.
-
4
Overall lens fit and limbal alignment should be assessed with fluorescein before zooming in on specific areas.
-
5
Fluorescein remains a critical tool for evaluating scleral lens fit, despite advancements in fitting technology.
