Potential pro-inflammatory impact of scleral lens midday fogging on human corneal epithelial cells: An in vitro study

Midday fogging (MDF) occurs when particulate material accumulates in the fluid reservoir (FR) beneath scleral lenses (SL), and its impact on epithelial cells is unknown. This study examines the in vitro pro-inflammatory effect of the FR on human corneal epithelial cells in varying degrees of MDF.
