Abstract:
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides a wealth of opportunities for modern contact lens practice. OCT imaging has numerous clinical and research applications related to the tear film, cornea, conjunctiva, sclera and ocular adnexae, in addition to soft, rigid, and hybrid contact lenses. This review summarises the potential use of OCT imaging in modern scleral contact lens practice including initial lens selection, assessing the scleral contact lens fit with respect to the cornea and sclera, and accurately quantifying the ocular response to lens wear. Recent advances in the understanding of anterior segment metrics including scleral thickness, curvature, toricity, and the anatomy of the corneoscleral limbal junction are also discussed.
