Changes in Symptoms of Midday Fogging with a Novel Scleral Contact Lens Filling Solution.

ABSTRACT:

Significance

Midday fogging of scleral contact lenses requires frequent lens removal and reapplication for a large portion of lens wearers. Using a lens filling solution that mimics the composition of tears is hypothesized to have an impact on the production of material trapped under a scleral lens.

Purpose

The purposes of this open-label study were to assess the safety of a scleral lens filling solution, which closely approximates the ionic concentration and pH of human tears, and to assess signs and symptoms of midday fogging with this formulation and with subjects' habitual sodium chloride solutions.

Methods

Existing scleral lens wearers with midday fogging (N = 22) were examined and completed surveys of symptoms. Subjects filled the concavity of their current lens
