Jiang,Q., Zhang,Z., Niu,L., Wang,B., Fadel,D., Wei,R., Chen,Z. Changes in anterior segment after short-term scleral lens wear in healthy Chinese population Contact Lens Anterior Eye 2025;48(1):102291 [ Show Abstract ]

Purpose
To evaluate the impact of short-term scleral lens (SL) wear on anterior chamber (AC) dimension and central corneal thickness (CCT) in healthy Chinese people.

Methods
This is a prospective, daily wear study. Eligible participants were dispensed SLs to correct refractive errors. Anterior segment (AS) parameters were measured by AS optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) before, during, and after 2 and 4 hours of lens wear. Repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the changes in AS parameters over time.

Results
Twelve subjects (10 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 25.3 ± 3.8 years (ranging from 21 to 34 years) were recruited. The AC parameters, including anterior chamber depth (ACD) from the endothelium (endo-ACD), angle opening distance at 500 μm (AOD500), and trabecular-iris space area at 500 μm (TISA500), significantly decreased after wearing SLs for 4 hours (P<0.05). CCT increased by 12 μm (2.29 %) after wearing SLs for 4 hours (P=0.013).

Conclusion
This study suggests that SL wear has a significant impact on AS dimensions in patients with healthy corneas in the short term with SL in situ, but tend to recover quickly after SL removal. Further research is needed to determine whether the change in AS dimensions during SL wear affects aqueous humor (AH) outflow and causes changes in intraocular pressure (IOP).
