his 2-hour course is intended to provide attendees with education, information, and techniques necessary to fit scleral
contact lenses of all types and designs. For novice scleral lens fitters, this course will prepare them to initiate fitting their
patients with scleral lenses. For those who have scleral experience, it will also present special techniques/modifications that may
be helpful in solving complex fitting challenges that scleral lens wearers may present. The objective is to provide practitioners
with detailed description of every step involved in fitting and caring for patients wearing scleral lenses including: patient
selection, pre-fitting diagnostic evaluation of the patient, specialized testing, initial diagnostic lens selection and evaluation,
lens ordering, follow-up care, modification of the fit, problem-solving, specific care and handling of lenses and in-office
management tips. It is hoped that, upon completion of this course, practitioners will be comfortable with all aspects of fitting
and problem-solving with scleral lenses.
