Demodex Blepharitis in Scleral Lens Wearers
The purpose of this study will be to see if Xdemvy (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25% has a positive impact on ocular surface symptoms and PROSE device functionality and performance.
The investigators hypothesize the use of Xdemvy in subjects utilizing PROSE treatment will be well tolerated and that the reduction in Demodex mite load on the eyelid margin will result in reduced ocular surface symptoms and improved PROSE tolerance and functionality.

This proof-of-concept study will investigate whether standard, on label, six-week treatment of Demodex Blepharitis (DB) with Xdemvy (lotilaner ophthalmic solution) 0.25% has a positive impact on ocular surface symptoms and PROSE device functionality and performance. The investigators hypothesize the use of Xdemvy in subjects utilizing PROSE treatment will be well tolerated and that the reduction in Demodex mite load (measured utilizing the surrogate, validated endpoint of lash collarettes 6,7) on the eyelid margin will result in reduced ocular surface symptoms and improved PROSE tolerance and functionality.
A total of up to SIX subjects with bilateral Demodex Blepharitis (> Grade 2, which is more than 10 collarettes of upper lash, in the worse eye) in a single clinic setting who currently wear scleral lenses on a daily basis for irregular corneas and/or ocular surface disease will be offered enrollment and will be included in the study The total duration of a subjects' participation in the study will be approximately 6 weeks.

1. The Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8)
Aikaikkuna: Visit 1 - screening visit, Visit 2 - day 21, and Visit 3 - day 42
|
The Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8) is a validated 8-item, self-report tool developed by Chalmers et al. in 2012 to assess the frequency and intensity of soft contact lens (SCL) discomfort and dryness.
A total score of \(\ge 12\) indicates clinically significant discomfort and potential, which are strong predictors of patient dropout.

2. Visual analog scale (VAS) - Symptom and Lens Performance Scores
Aikaikkuna: Visit 1 - screening and Visit 3 - day 42
|
A Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a subjective measurement tool, where individuals mark their symptom intensity (like pain, burning, or itching) to capture a continuous feeling not easily measured numerically.
It's simple, widely used in healthcare for assessing symptom severity and treatment effectiveness, and recorded by measuring the distance from the "no" end, typically 0-100 mm.
Subjects will complete VAS scales for Tolerability for desired daily PROSE wear time, Fluctuating vision, Ocular Burning, Ocular Redness, and Ocular Itching.

Collarette grade
Aikaikkuna: Visit 1 - screening and Visit 3 - day 42
|
A collarette grade is a clinical, non-linear scoring system (typically 0-4) used to quantify the severity of Demodex blepharitis by counting cylindrical dandruff-like debris (collarettes) at the base of eyelashes.
It measures the infestation level, with higher grades indicating a higher percentage of lashes affected.
