Rigid escleral gas permeable contact lenses, a therapeutic option in the ocular surface diseases treatment

Abstract

Scleral contact lenses lenses have maintained a small but uniquely valuable place within the contact lenses in clinical practice. It is obvious that due to poorly educated scleral lens has not been given a high priority in the professional field which implies that many professionals do not have an understanding of their intrinsic merits and therefore rarely prescribed or recommended for use. This type of rigid gas permeable lenses performs an important role and its underrated in the treatment of corneal diseases and their performance for the rehabilitation of visual ecstasies, irregular astigmatism, and therapy of disease of the ocular surface.
