Worldwide, scleral lenses are gaining popularity among practitioners and patients. When fitting scleral lenses, problems may ensue, and sometimes, practitioners are not able to correctly recognize the etiology, so to adequately manage them. In literature, many articles describe scleral lens complications and provide suggestions on their management. However, none of the reports explain the difference between issues and complications. Additionally, various issues related to a non-optimal fitting relationship, handling, care, and compliance are not reported all together, and currently, clinicians need to consult different references to understand how to manage the problems, and often, this creates confusion. Practitioners need a reference to consult for scleral lens problems, and they are in continuous research of a valid manuscript. This book discusses all issues and complications that may occur during scleral lens fitting and will provide guidelines on their management. This book is essential for every scleral lens practitioner.
