Scleral lens technology and keratoconus: A life-changing option for patients: Researchers find that lenses facilitate remodelling of the cornea over time.

Innovations in the design of rigid corneal lenses and scleral lenses have delayed or eliminated the need for keratoplasty. Dr Jacobs described a patient for whom a keratoplasty seemed inevitable; however, scleral lenses allowed for remodelling to take place after the patient had worn poorly fitting corneal lenses for decades.
