ClinConnect Summary

This prospective, single-center clinical trial aims to refine the process of fitting scleral lenses by utilizing advanced imaging technologies to enhance the precision and predictability of lens adaptations for individuals with complex corneal conditions. Conducted at Centro Fernández in Madrid, Spain, the study focuses on patients who have historically struggled with standard contact lens solutions due to conditions such as keratoconus, post-surgical corneal irregularities, and severe dry eye syndrome.
