Applied Specialty Contact Lens Practice: Keratoconus, Scleral Lenses, and Therapeutic Use

Specialty contact lens cases including keratoconus, irregular corneas, and therapeutic applications require integrated clinical reasoning. This applied course teaches that integration through case-based modules. By the end of this course you will be able to support keratoconus management, plan scleral lens fitting, integrate specialty lens use into therapeutic care, and coordinate with corneal specialists when indicated. What you will learn: - Approaches to keratoconus across stages including topographic interpretation - Scleral lens fitting frameworks including landing zone and vault assessment - Approaches to post-surgical and post-traumatic corneas - Therapeutic contact lens use including bandage lens applications - Approaches to dry eye and ocular surface disease in contact lens wearers - Coordination with corneal specialists and surgical planning - Continuous improvement frameworks for specialty contact lens services The course is structured around case-based applied modules. Each module presents a complex scenario, walks through structured reasoning, and produces a written approach you compare against the worked-through example. This course is written for optometrists deepening specialty contact lens practice. It does not replace supervised clinical training or specialty mentorship. By the end you will have structured frameworks for specialty contact lens cases.
