Introduction
A 20-year old keratoconus patient was first fitted with scleral lenses in 2016. The lenses were spheric with a diameter of 15.50mm. When wearing the lenses there was a central clearance visible of approximately 100 micron after wearing them for several hours in both eyes. There’s was no visible blanching or impingement in the landing zone of the lens even though a lens with a symmetric periphery was fitted. The wearing time was 15 hours a day with good vision and comfort.
