Background: AS-OCT is a noncontact imaging device that provides the detailed structure of the anterior part of the eyes. The Objectives In this review, the author will discuss the clinical applications of AS-OCT in the scleral contact lens fittings.Material & Methods:Pre-Scleral lens fit and post fit ASOCT done on 30 patients to assess the normal fitting and compare it with the slit lamp evaluation.Results:ASOCT gives a Quantitative measurement of the fit.Conclusions:ASOCT comes out as a helpful tool for beginners particularly for a good assessment of a contact lens fit. The author also presents some interesting cases demonstrated via AS-OCT.
