What’s Next for Contact Lens Research?

Published: Aug. 14, 2023, 1 p.m.

In today’s episode of May Eye Interrupt, Dr. Jason Jedlicka and Craig Norman interview Dr. Daddi Fadel, a pioneer of modern contact lens designs. She joins them to discuss her practice work, the practical application of her research, and efforts to educate more practitioners on how to begin fitting specialty contact lenses. Dr. Fadel also shares her excitement about topics she’s currently researching and others she hopes to investigate in the future, such as if de-centering the optics of the lens for keratoconus patients will improve high-order aberrations. She’s keen on researching if increasing scleral lens diameter can increase comfort for dry eye patients, and which contact lens fitting method (empirical vs. diagnostic) offers a faster and easier solution for different types of patients.
