This one-hour lecture will review recent publications concerning scleral lenses, focusing on those that were published in the past year and including research related to ocular physiology and health related to scleral lens wear, as well as case series and clinical research.

Learning Objectives

1. 1. Summarize recent findings on ocular physiology and biomechanics during short- and long-term scleral lens wear.
2. 2. Interpret new evidence on tear reservoir characteristics, fogging, and corneal health outcomes
3. 3. Evaluate evidence-based approaches for managing keratoconus, irregular
   corneas, and ocular surface disease using scleral lenses.
4. 4.Identify global research trends shaping the future of scleral lens research and clinical care.
