Online Photo Diagnosis: Post-Graft Alternatives to Scleral Lenses

Exploring the challenges and solutions for post-graft contact lens fittings, especially for corneal GP lens wearers.

1

Post-graft patients often require advanced specialty lenses due to irregular corneal topographies that differ from typical keratoconus.
2

Scleral lenses provide stability by vaulting the cornea, but many post-graft patients prefer to continue using corneal GP lenses.
3

Standard corneal GP designs frequently fail to center on post-graft corneas due to high eccentricity and irregular elevation.
4

Customized corneoscleral lenses can improve centration and alignment for post-graft patients, though clearance optimization is still needed.
5

Patient education and application training are essential to prevent issues like air bubbles when using larger lenses.
