5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Scleral lenses are not suitable for all patients, and careful selection is crucial to optimize fitting success and patient satisfaction.

• 2

  Handling difficulties during the diagnostic phase are the primary cause of scleral lens fitting failures.

• 3

  Patients with unrealistic expectations about vision improvement should be excluded from scleral lens fitting.

• 4

  Empirical fitting methods enhance efficiency and patient experience, reducing the need for multiple lens exchanges.

• 5

  Advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence, are expected to improve scleral lens design and fitting outcomes.
