ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To assess the feasibility of obtaining cornea scleral profile (CSP) measurements using Scheimpflug imaging and report on the fitting process of free-form custom scleral lenses (SLs) for patients with ocular surface disease (OSD).METHODS:
This prospective study of patients fit with free-form SLs collected data on the following demographics, indications for wear, corneal and scleral tomography, scan acquisition process, and SL fitting process.RESULTS:
Cornea scleral profile scans were acquired on 15 eyes of nine patients. Mean scan time for right eyes was 10.7, and 9.7 min for left eyes. A mean of 2.9 follow-up visits were required to complete SL fitting, with a mean of 2.1 lenses ordered. One eye did not tolerate lens wear, and one eye could not be fit using the CSP scan because of insufficient data. The initial lens ordered was dispensed at the first follow-up visit for seven of the remaining 13 eyes, all of which were ultimately fit successfully in free-form lenses.CONCLUSIONS:
In this study of profilometry-guided SL fitting for eyes with OSD and low magnitude corneal astigmatism, the number of lenses and follow-up visits required were similar to outcomes of previous studies that described the diagnostic approach to SL fitting. In addition, imaging technology does not negate the need for skilled clinical observation while fitting SLs.
