Case in brief
This case series highlights complications arising from poorly fitted scleral lenses (SLs) in patients with corneal irregularities and ocular surface diseases. It emphasizes the importance of regular monitoring of SL fit and the underlying conditions to prevent complications. Adjustments in SL design can facilitate successful lens wear, but ongoing assessment is crucial for all patients.
Diagnostic / clinical pearl
Clinicians should prioritize regular evaluations of scleral lens fit and associated ocular conditions to mitigate complications and ensure optimal patient outcomes.
Why it matters
Understanding the potential complications of poorly fitted scleral lenses is essential for maintaining patient safety and comfort in those requiring optical correction.
