“…The development of highly gas-permeable materials, well-defined fitting techniques and technologic innovations in the design and manufacturing of scleral lenses led to better performance. 2,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Approximately by 1990, several milestones were reached in the development of scleral lenses. It became possible to apply a front-surface cylinder to improve vision.…”

The interview and questionnaire showed high scores for patient satisfaction with the current scleral lens in the 178 patients (284 eyes) (median score, 4; range Likert scale, 1-5; median score, >or=75; range VAS, 1-100). Significant increases in scores were seen with the current scleral lens compared to the former correction: 78.9% for comfort, 78.2% for visual quality, and 87.7% for overall satisfaction (n=284 eyes) (P<0.001). In the 99 eyes that switched from back-surface spherical to back-surface toric designs, the following significant increases were seen: 61.6%, 37.4%, and 65.7%, respectively (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS.: High patient satisfaction was seen with all the modern scleral lens designs in the management of several forms of corneal abnormality. The interview showed differences in comfort, visual quality, and overall satisfaction in favor of the back-surface toric designs compared to the back-surface spherical designs.

“…In contrast, another report found no improvement in visual function with a corneo-scleral lens in SJS, indicating that a corneoscleral lens, as opposed to a scleral lens, may be problematic for a fragile ocular surface [281]. Various other case series have been published reporting on successful patient outcomes with scleral lenses [282][283][284]. One particularly beneficial application of scleral lenses in this patient population (and other conditions) is in the treatment and management of persistent epithelial defects [14,74,147,148,285].…”

The medical use of contact lenses is a solution for many complex ocular conditions, including high refractive error, irregular astigmatism, primary and secondary corneal ectasia, disfiguring disease, and ocular surface disease. The development of highly oxygen permeable soft and rigid materials has extended the suitability of contact lenses for such applications. There is consistent evidence that bandage soft contact lenses, particularly silicone hydrogel lenses, improve epithelial healing and reduce pain in persistent epithelial defects, after trauma or surgery, and in corneal dystrophies. Drug delivery applications of contact lens hold promise for improving topical therapy. Modern scleral lens practice has achieved great success for both visual rehabilitation and therapeutic applications, including those requiring retention of a tear reservoir or protection from an adverse environment. This report offers a practical and relevant summary of the current evidence for the medical use of contact lenses for all eye care professionals including optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and orthoptists. Topics covered include indications for use in both acute and chronic conditions, lens selection, patient selection, wear and care regimens, and recommended aftercare schedules. Prevention, presentation, and management of complications of medical use are reviewed.
