Indications
• When alternative RGP designs will not center or cause intolerable bearing forces on the central cornea and soft lenses cannot provide good vision.
• Fitting of irregular corneas with conditions such as advanced keratoconus, trauma, or post-surgical deformities consequent to a graft, RK, PRK, and LASIK.
• In conditions where the cornea and/or sclera are extremely dry and need protection from direct exposure.

Description:
The Jupiter Scleral falls into 2 main design categories- the 15 mm diameter (mini-scleral) series and the 18 mm diameter series. Both series are true scleral lenses sharing the characteristics that they 1) Bear on the Sclera and 2) Vault the Cornea. A lens that bears on the cornea in any way is not a scleral lens although it may be a corneo-scleral or semi-scleral lens.

The Jupiter 18 mm series is designed to be a semi-sealed lens and does not need to closely contour the cornea. The scleral portion is designed to allow adequate tear exchange but hold a much larger volume of tears. It can address the most irregular and asymmetric corneas as well as provide a large tears for severe dry eye cases.
