Saline or gel for sclerals?
Posted: Tue 05 Dec 2023 4:34 pm
Hi, I've just had right regraft, and, so far, it is going well, a bit sore but that's normal, I think. I have a scleral lens in the left eye, which is awaiting a regraft, but I am getting air bubbles in it again (this had stopped but I think the shape of the eye and cornea are such that bubbles are sneaking in). My specialist has tried a few different fits and now suggests that, rather than using saline, I try gel or drops instead and has given me Clinitas and Xailin to experiment with, or I can use Hylo Forte. He says that, as they are a lot more viscous than saline, bubbles shouldn't happen. Has anyone tried this and. if so, how did it go? Which one worked best?
