Here are some ways to maximize the value of GP lab consultations.
When soft toric and large-diameter GP lenses fail, it may be time to consider sclerals.
It may now be time to use larger diameter GP lenses instead of their smaller, corneal counterparts.
From non-preserved saline solutions to eliminating bubbles before insertion, gas-permeable lenses have their own rules for successful wear.
Consider a scleral lens for neurotrophic corneas, particularly those with persistent
epithelial defects.
Here is a snapshot of what is happening in the industry.
When treating corneal epitheliopathies, consider using scleral lenses.
Piggybacking GP lenses is not the only way to treat nodular corneal degeneration. Try vaulting the cornea instead.

There are innovative and novel ways to use GP lenses when treating nodular
corneal degeneration.
Polishing can harm optics, wettability, efficiency and profitability.
Large-diameter rigid gas-permeable lenses are the future of contacts.
Here is a visual breakdown of the common issues facing keratoconus patients.
Understanding the alternative lens options for astigmats.
When you ask your scleral lens manufacturer to alter the design, you may find new therapy options.
Customizing scleral lenses might be a solution for your astigmatic patient.
Understanding new contact lens options will help those who may have comfort
issues with RGPs or those interested in other contact lens options.
Scleral lenses may be the most comfortable option for post-RK patients facing vision fluctuations.
New technology allows for astigmatic patients to comfortably wear contact lenses and minimizes dropouts.
Are we missing opportunities to provide a benefit to our patients and our practices?
One practitioner provides an overview of the dry eye and contact lenses sections of the annual meeting.
In the case of greatly distorted corneas,
topography may not provide the best information to fit these lenses
without diagnostic lenses.
