L’impact des lentilles sclérales sur le film lacrymal, la cornée et les paupières

Abstract

The human eye is a complex organ where the cornea plays a crucial role in vision. Corneal pathologies such as keratoconus can severely impair this function. In response to these challenges, scleral lenses emerge as a promising alternative, offering better comfort and increased corneal hydration. This study examines the impact of scleral lenses on the tear film, cornea, and eyelids. Through a literature review and a clinical study conducted at Dr. KAMECHE's ophthalmology clinic in Blida, the results show that prolonged wear of these lenses can alter the tear film and increase corneal thickness, although data on eyelids are limited. Our findings suggest that despite their benefits, scleral lenses require continuous monitoring to optimize their use and minimize risks.
