Objective:
To demonstrate the effectiveness of anterior segment OCT in improving scleral lens fitting accuracy.
Key Findings:
- Scleral lens corrected visual acuity improved to 20/25 in both eyes, demonstrating significant visual enhancement.
- Anterior segment OCT provided detailed imaging for accurate lens fitting, crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.
- Central clearance was measured at 222 µm initially, reducing to 205 µm after 5 hours of wear, indicating stability of the lens fit.
Interpretation:
Anterior segment OCT enhances the scleral lens fitting process by providing precise measurements and reducing fitting time, leading to improved patient outcomes, which is critical for patient satisfaction and long-term lens wear.
Limitations:
- The study is based on a single patient case.
- Potential off-label use of the medical device was noted.
Conclusion:
Anterior segment OCT is a valuable tool for scleral lens fitting, improving accuracy and patient satisfaction while reducing chair time.
