Change in over ‐refraction after scleral lens settling on average corneas

ConclusionDespite a significant change in the central corneal clearance due to thinning of the fluid reservoir as the scleral lens settled (an average decrease of 83 μm after wearing the lenses for 6–8 h), there was not a statistically significant change in the subjective over‐refraction (sphere, cylinder, and axis) or best sphere or visual acuity. This study has confirmed that there is no link between reduction in central corneal clearance and change in over‐refraction for average corneas.
