The primary indication for scleral lenses is keratoconus. A properly fit scleral lens can substantially improve a keratoconus patient’s visual acuity with a lens that is stable and comfortable to wear. This lecture will discuss specific scleral lens fitting considerations and strategies to best manage the keratoconus patient. Advanced topics such as corneal crosslinking, managing comorbidities and wavefront correction will also be addressed.

Learning Objectives:

1. The participant will learn important considerations when choosing to use scleral lenses for the management of keratoconus versus other lens modalities.

 2. The participant will learn scleral lens design strategies that are specific to patients with keratoconus.

 3. The participant will learn the role of crosslinking for keratoconus and strategies to consider when fitting scleral lenses.

 4. The participant will learn the role of wavefront correction and its application for scleral lens fitting of keratoconus.

 5. The participant will learn how to concurrently manage comorbidities when managing the keratoconus patient with scleral lenses.
