Letter to the Editor: “Fluid reservoir thickness and corneal oedema during closed eye scleral lens wear,” by Damien Fisher, Michael J. Collins, and Stephen J. Vincent

We read with interest the recent manuscript by Fisher et al. [1] entitled “Fluid reservoir thickness and corneal oedema during closed eye scleral lens wear,” that reports closed-eye central corneal edema after 90-min wear of scleral lenses (SL). The main finding of this work is that closed-eye corneal swelling after 90 min of wear appears to be less than that for clos ed-eye overnight wear. Fisher et al. [1] also compare their swelling data to a recent mathematical prediction of SL-induced swelling (Kim et al.
