The Scleral Lens Vault: Dive Into the Future Without Forgetting the Past

1

Fitting contact lenses for keratoconus patients is challenging due to corneal irregularities, often requiring multiple attempts.
2

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly utilized in ophthalmology for disease detection and lens fitting, particularly for keratoconus.
3

A recent study demonstrated that convolutional neural networks (CNNs) outperformed traditional methods in predicting rigid lens parameters for keratoconus.
4

The integration of AI in scleral lens fittings is anticipated to reduce fitting time and improve accuracy for difficult cases.
5

Future research is needed to further explore AI applications in scleral lens fittings, building on advancements in keratoconus management.
