What are Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are specialty contact lenses that rest on the white part of your eye, called the sclera, which is where they get their name. Unlike regular contacts, they don’t touch the sensitive center of the eye. Instead, they gently vault over it, creating a reservoir of moisture that helps keep your eyes hydrated and comfortable. Scleral lenses are especially beneficial for people with irregularly shaped corneas or those struggling with severe dry eye.
Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are ideal for individuals with conditions such as keratoconus, post-LASIK complications, corneal scarring, or severe dry eye syndrome. These lenses provide improved vision, enhanced comfort, and therapeutic benefits by protecting the cornea and maintaining constant moisture.
Benefits of Scleral Lenses
- Exceptional vision for irregular corneas
- Long-lasting comfort
- Helps manage severe dry eye
- Stable fit with less movement
- Protection and healing for compromised cornea
What to Expect During Your Fitting
Your scleral lens journey starts with a comprehensive eye exam and a detailed map of your cornea using advanced imaging. We use this information to custom-design lenses that offer the best possible fit and comfort. During your initial fitting, we’ll walk you through how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses. Follow-up visits allow us to fine-tune the fit and make sure your lenses are working exactly as they should.
