Why is it important?
Scleral/PROSE contact lenses are becoming more popular nowadays, and their indications continue to expand as better designs and materials are used, benefiting more patients with ocular/refractive errors and helping protect and restore the damaged ocular surface in severe inflammatory and cicatrizing conditions.
Perspectives
We expect that more optometrists, contact lens experts, and ophthalmologists dedicated to treating irregular refractive errors and ocular surface disorders will benefit from consulting this updated, detailed review.
