“…2,26 The mechanical force of soft contact lenses is also known to cause other changes to the ocular surface, including conjunctival epithelial flaps 27 and conjunctival folds. 28 Miniscleral rigid contact lenses, which typically vault the cornea, also create bearing on the sclera just past the limbus. These lenses have been reported to depress the conjunctiva over time when settling on the eye.…”

Dry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common ocular disorders worldwide. The pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the development of DED are not well understood and thus treating DED has been a significant challenge for ophthalmologists. Most of the currently available diagnostic tests demonstrate low correlation to patient symptoms and have low reproducibility. Recently, sophisticated in vivo imaging modalities have become available for patient care, namely, in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). These emerging modalities are powerful and non-invasive, allowing real-time visualization of cellular and anatomical structures of the cornea and ocular surface. Here we discuss how, by providing both qualitative and quantitative assessment, these techniques can be used to demonstrate early subclinical disease, grade layer-by-layer severity, and allow monitoring of disease severity by cellular alterations. Imaging-guided stratification of patients may also be possible in conjunction with clinical examination methods. Visualization of subclinical changes and stratification of patients in vivo, allows objective image-guided evaluation of tailored treatment response based on cellular morphological alterations specific to each patient. This image-guided approach to DED may ultimately improve patient outcomes and allow studying the efficacy of novel therapies in clinical trials.

“…Tear film function is an important factor in CL use. A large proportion of CL drop-outs cite discomfort and symptoms of dryness as reasons for ceasing lens wear [43][44][45][46]. If the post-lens tear layer is diminished, as in tight lens fitting or dry eye syndrome, the accumulation of debris and dead cells may pose a significant risk to the ocular surface [25,31].…”

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-speed and non-contact optical imaging technology widely used for noninvasive cross-sectional imaging of biological objects. Two main OCT technologies have been developed: time domain and Fourier domain technologies. The latter can be further divided into spectral domain OCT, which uses a broadband light source and a spectrometer as a detector, and swept source OCT, which employs a quickly-rotating laser source. Advances in OCT technology have made it one of the most helpful devices in ophthalmic practice. Fourier OCT has revolutionized imaging of the posterior segment of the eye, as well as of anterior structures and has enhanced the ability to diagnose and manage patients. It provides high-resolution information about the tear film, contact lens (CL), a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the anterior eye that is important in contact lens fitting, and allows possible eye surface changes while wearing contact lenses to be monitored. Potential swept source OCT technology applications include industrial processes of lens design and quality control. In this paper, we describe clinical applications and outline a variety of multifunctional uses of OCT in the field of refractive error correction with contact lenses.
