Lens Chat About Sclerals and Specialty Soft Lenses
Dr. Eef van der Worp stops by May Eye Interrupt to talk with Craig Norman and Dr. Jason Jedlicka about how so much has changed since he authored his guide on fitting scleral lenses over a decade ago. The biggest change, he says, is in the improvement of solutions, partly thanks to good topographers and imaging of the ocular surface. Though Dr. van der Worp hopes specialty soft lenses will take off, he acknowledges more research is needed to understand how they behave on the eyes, and how the optics will change as they bend and flex on the eyes. As for what’s next? He’s excited to see more exploration on measuring individual aberrations to create an optimal lens as well as advancements in daily disposable customized lenses created through customized molds.
