5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Scleral lenses can effectively deliver topical medications, providing sustained drug delivery and increased bioavailability with minimal side effects.

• 2

  A study showed that scleral lenses filled with preservative-free cyclosporine improved ocular surface conditions without affecting visual acuity.

• 3

  Using autologous serum tears in scleral lenses has been shown to accelerate healing of persistent epithelial defects compared to soft bandage lenses.

• 4

  Scleral lenses can reduce the frequency of topical antifungal drops for treating fungal keratitis, demonstrating effective drug delivery.

• 5

  Retrospective studies indicate that scleral lenses can successfully deliver anti-VEGF therapy, leading to regression of corneal neovascularization.
