he scleral lens represents fundamental device to the
improvement of visual acuity of patients with irregular
corneas and/or to bring mitigation of their suffering in cases
of dry eye. Perfect fitting in the ocular ball is an important
point so that the patient can use it safe and comfortably.
We constructed our study based on zens lens- escleral lens,
factored in Brazil by Solótica Industria Óptica under the
license of Alden Optical- Lancaster- NY, USA. The target is to
analyze adjustments done to adapt lens in patients. We also
compared the assessments between slit lamp and optical
coherence tomography. The adjusts were more frequently
needed until now and are sagittal deep, toric periphery and
front toric. Other less needed adjusts were changes in the
basic curve to regulate the vault in medium periphery of the
cornea and micro vault fitting in steep topography.
