Scleral lens fitting is, as said, a specialty per-se. Scleral lenses can be life-changing for some patients, and awareness of the possibilities that this vision correction method has to offer is important. This doesn't mean that everybody necessarily should fit scleral lenses, but gaining knowledge about their possibilities and referring to a specialty lens clinic can be just as important and rewarding. This guide is based on an extended literature search on the subject and provides an overview of the latest knowledge and understanding of this vision correction method. The Scleral Lens Fitting Guide covers everything from terminology and indications (chapter I), to the anatomy and shape of the anterior ocular surface (chapter II), to basic scleral lens design (chapter III), to important steps in the fitting process (chapter IV), and finishes off with 'Managing Scleral Lens Wear'; both lens handling/lens care and scleral lens complications will be discussed. The literature overview is further completed by the input of 18 recognized scleral lens fitters from all over the world, and all fitting approaches are incorporated.
