Scleral Lenses: A Life-Changing Solution for Clearer, More Comfortable Vision

 

 

If you struggle with blurry vision, uncomfortable contact lenses, or chronic dry eye symptoms, scleral lenses may be the solution you've been looking for. These advanced specialty contact lenses are designed to provide exceptional vision, all-day comfort, and protection for the surface of the eye.

Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) and vault over the cornea. This creates a reservoir of fluid between the lens and the eye, helping to keep the eyes hydrated while providing a smooth optical surface for clearer vision.

Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are often recommended for patients with:

  • Keratoconus

  • Severe dry eye disease

  • Corneal scars

  • Irregular astigmatism

  • Corneal transplants

  • Post-LASIK or other corneal surgeries

  • Ocular surface diseases

They can also be an excellent option for individuals who have difficulty wearing traditional soft contact lenses.

Benefits of Scleral Lenses

Improved Vision

The fluid-filled space beneath the lens helps mask corneal irregularities, often providing sharper and more stable vision than glasses or standard contact lenses.

Dry Eye Relief

Scleral lenses continuously bathe the cornea in moisture throughout the day, helping reduce dryness, irritation, burning, and discomfort.

Exceptional Comfort

Because the lenses rest on the sclera rather than the sensitive cornea, many patients find them surprisingly comfortable even during long hours of wear.

Customized Fit

Each scleral lens is custom-designed to fit the unique shape of your eyes, ensuring optimal comfort and visual performance.

What to Expect During a Fitting

A scleral lens fitting involves advanced measurements and a comprehensive eye evaluation to determine the ideal lens design for your eyes. Because these lenses are highly customized, follow-up visits may be needed to achieve the best fit and vision possible.
