I use my optical coherence tomographer (OCT) for evaluating complex contact lenses, such as sclerals. It is important that there is enough space between the cornea and the contact lens.
| • | Evaluating pachymetry and corneal edema |
| • | Measuring soft and GP lens thickness—centrally and peripherally |
| • | Examining lens edges for flaws and causes of discomfort |
| • | Measuring posterior tear film thickness in scleral lenses |
| • | Assessing points of lens bearing to determine the need for design modification |
