Hey, we may have a scleral CL patient coming in, and my doctor has in their 30 years of practice never fit one before. So a few questions about it, both from their perspective, and from mine:
Are they more like fitting RGPs, or effectively just larger diameter soft lenses?
Any specific measurements we should keep in mind that we would need?
How long should the lenses be worn for before replacement? Week/Month/Year?
How are scleral fits/cls handled via VSP? Like elective, or medically necessary?
What kind of is the general lead-time between ordering sclerals and delivery to office? Should they be warranted like RGPs?
Any other general info about them is great. No one in our office has dealt with them before, so we have no institutional knowledge to call upon
