New paper: Scleral asymmetry as a potential predictor for scleral lens compression

This study shows that scleral asymmetry can be used as a parameter to predict scleral lens settling. Larger amounts of scleral asymmetry were found to lead to larger decentration in the impression of the lens on the ocular surface, as well as deeper compression of the sclera. Scleral asymmetry has repeatedly been mentioned as an important factor for a successful scleral lens fit.3,7 This is the first work that shows an automatic methodology to quantify scleral asymmetry as single parameter that is correlated with lens compression.
