Frugal Method of Notch Modification of Scleral Contact Lenses in the Setting of Complex Ocular Surface Anatomy.

Scleral contact lenses (ScCLs) have gained popularity as a treatment of refractive errors in patients with complex anterior segment pathology. Patients with mechanical abnormalities of the ocular surface may be unsuccessful with traditional ScCL fitting. Scleral contact lens modifications, such as notching and microvaulting, typically incur additional financial costs and require the services of professional laboratories.

Progression From Soft Lens to Piggyback Soft-Scleral Contact Lens System to Facilitate Scleral Lens Use in a Pediatric Patient.

Traumatic injury in the pediatric population often results in significant refractive errors that if left untreated can lead to amblyopia. Scleral contact lenses (ScCLs) have recently gained popularity in this population for efficacy in treatment of significant refractive errors, including irregularity astigmatism and corneal abnormalities. Scleral contact lens intolerance may limit the ability of practitioners to use this modality.
