Clinical Use of Mini-Scleral Contact Lens in Ocular Surface Diseases

Scleral contact lens wear in unilateral aphakia.

Contact lens sensors in ocular diagnostics.

Contact lenses as a minimally invasive platform for diagnostics and drug delivery have emerged in recent years. Contact lens sensors have been developed for analyzing the glucose composition of tears as a surrogate for blood glucose monitoring and for the diagnosis of glaucoma by measuring intraocular pressure. However, the eye offers a wider diagnostic potential as a sensing site and therefore...

For a better understanding of scleral contact lens-related pathophysiology.

Scleral contact lens technology had been applied for several years as part of the treatment of ocular surface diseases, as well as for compensation of corneal surface irregularities. In recent years, new scleral lens designs were developed to compensate for current refractive errors. Becoming more widely used, it is crucial to question the long-term effects of their presence on ocular health. O...

Mini-scleral Contact Lens for Management of Poor Visual Outcomes after Intrastromal Corneal Ring Segments Implantation in Keratoconus

PURPOSE To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of mini-scleral design (MSD) contact lenses to treat keratoconus patients who were unsatisfied with the results of corneal inlay. METHODS In this prospective interventional case series, 9 eyes of 6 keratoconus patients who were unsatisfied with the results of corneal inlay were fitted with MSD contact lenses. Demographic data, uncorrected visua...
