Scleral lenses are large, gas-permeable contact lenses specially designed to vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). Unlike traditional contact lenses, which sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses create a fluid-filled vault over the cornea, providing a smooth optical surface and helping to correct vision problems caused by irregularities in the cornea's shape.
These lenses are used for various eye conditions, including keratoconus, irregular astigmatism, and dry eyes, offering better comfort and visual acuity compared to other options. By maintaining a reservoir of fluid between the lens and the cornea, scleral lenses also provide continuous hydration, making them suitable for individuals suffering from severe dry eye syndrome. They require a fitting process by an eye care professional to ensure proper sizing and positioning on the eye for optimal vision correction and comfort.
Introduction: In the recent decade, technological advancements in ophthalmology have made procedures more precise for both patients and surgeons. However, it also has detrimental side effects if used…

The Scleral Lenses track is a dedicated stream within IOC 2027 covering the latest research, clinical innovation, and best practice in Scleral Lenses. It brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners for oral presentations, posters, and discussion.
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, educators, doctoral students, and trainees with an interest in Scleral Lenses are all welcome — whether presenting or attending.
Yes. Submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. All submissions are peer-reviewed by the scientific committee; accepted abstracts appear in the indexed proceedings.
Yes. IOC 2027 is a hybrid conference — attend the Scleral Lenses track in person in Singapore or join live online, with on-demand access afterward.
