Peripheral scleral lens modifications and tear exchange
Landing zone modifications influence tear dynamics during short-term scleral lens wear. The channel design provided a consistent increase in tear ingress, mainly in the periphery. These findings provide quantitative evidence that channel modifications can enhance tear exchange in the short-term and may inform future innovations in scleral lens customisation.
