2 Fast Forward to A New Nomenclature Lens Type Corneal Corneo-Scleral Scleral Description Mini-Scleral Up to 6mm > HVID Large Scleral More than 6 mm > HVID Adopted from Nomenclature introduced by Scleral Lens Education Society (June 2013). Definition of Bearing Area Lens Rests Entirely On Cornea Lens Rests Partly on Cornea & Partly on Sclera Lens Rests Entirely on Sclera Relative Contraindication Corneas with significant edema from reduced endothelial cell count Potential Indications: A Growing List Severe dry eyes Graft versus host disease Sjögren s syndrome Stevens Johnson syndrome Neurotrophic keratopathy 2

3 Potential Indications: A Growing List Inflammatory conditions Limbal stem cell deficiency Ocular cicatricial pemphigoid Persistent sterile epi-defects LSCD Familial dysautonomia Neurotrophic keratopathy Exposure keratopathy Lens-related neovascularization Potential Indications: A Growing List Corneal ectasias Primary corneal ectasias Advanced (notably decentered) keratoconus Keratoglobus Pellucid marginal degeneration Secondary corneal ectasias Post-LASIK Post-PRK Post-RK Potential Indications: A Growing List Corneal transplants Trauma Corneal scars Corneal degenerations or dystrophies Salzmann s nodular degeneration Terrien s marginal degeneration 3
