On April 14, BostonSight’s Dr. Alan Kwok and PROSE Network Provider, Dr. Gloria Chiu, published the article “How to fit scleral lenses with confidence and caution” in the April 14 edition of Optometry Times Journal.
As scleral lenses become more widely used, practitioners must learn the fitting challenges that can exist. In the article, Drs. Kwok and Chiu share their decades of knowledge fitting scleral lenses and PROSE devices. In the article, they talk about monocular patients, scleral lens clearance, conjunctival prolapse, irregular conjunctiva following glaucoma procedures, and extended wear for persistent epithelial defects. A scleral lens fitting quiz is at the end.
