Abstract
It has been hypothesised that scleral contact lens wear may elevate intraocular pressure (IOP) as a result of post‐lens fluid forces exacerbated by eyelid tension or ocular versions that alter the lens fit and result in corneal bearing or increased conjunctival and scleral tissue compression.2016 Several studies have investigated the influence of short‐term scleral contact lens wear upon IOP using a variety of experimental paradigms. On average, in young healthy adults, wearing various types of modern scleral lenses for relatively short periods (30 minutes to eight hours), the changes in IOP are typically modest (less than 1.5 mmHg).
