Adverse Events Associated with Scleral Lens Wear Proceedings of the International Forum on Scleral Lens Research
Main Article Content
Abstract
Although the original description of scleral lenses fabricated from rigid gas permeable materials was published in 1983,1 the benefits of scleral lenses used to treat corneal irregularity and severe ocular surface disease were not immediately recognized by the eye care community at large. However, the past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in scleral lenses.
