Scleral lens prescription and management practices: Emerging consensus

Prescription and management practices for scleral lenses have been studied through both single-center retrospective reviews [1 –6] and survey research [7,8]. Although useful, both approaches have limitations for understanding how scleral lenses are being prescribed. Specifically, single-center studies tend to reflect the fitting philosophy and prescription patterns preferred by a single practitioner or a relatively small group of practitioners. Findings from such research may be difficult to extrapolate to a broader population.
