Contact lens wear is useful in ocular conditions such as high refractive errors, irregular astigmatism, corneal ectasias, corneal dystrophies, post-keratoplasty, post-refractive surgeries, trauma, and ocular surface diseases. The new innovations of highly oxygen-permeable contact lens materials have broadened the applications of contact lens suitability. Therapeutic contact lenses are medically used in the management of a wide variety of corneal conditions and ocular surface diseases. These lenses aid in pain relief, enhance corneal healing, maintain ocular homeostasis, and act as a drug delivery system. Drug delivery applications of contact lenses hold promise for improving topical therapy. The modern rigid gas permeable scleral contact lens provides symptomatic relief in painful corneal diseases such as bullous keratopathy, corneal epithelial abrasions, and erosions. It has been useful in therapeutic management as well as visual rehabilitation by enhancing the ocular surface and protecting the cornea from adverse environmental conditions. This review provides a summary of contact lenses used for the treatment of ocular surface diseases based on the current evidence available in the literature. This can help enhance the understanding and management of ocular surface diseases with respect to contact lens use in our day-to-day ophthalmology practice.
