Scleral Lenses

If you’ve struggled to find comfortable, effective contact lenses due to conditions like dry eye or irregular corneas, scleral contact lenses could be the solution you’ve been searching for. These innovative lenses are designed to address unique vision challenges while providing exceptional comfort and clarity.

Design & Advantages of Scleral Contact Lenses

Unlike traditional contact lenses that rest directly on the cornea, scleral lenses are larger and vault over the cornea, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye). This design creates a liquid-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, keeping the eye hydrated throughout the day. This makes scleral lenses particularly effective for individuals with severe dry eye, keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, or other irregularities.

One of the key advantages of scleral lenses is their ability to deliver sharp, consistent vision. Their rigid design corrects corneal irregularities, providing a smooth optical surface that enhances clarity. Whether you’ve had difficulty with traditional lenses or have been told you’re a “hard-to-fit” candidate, scleral lenses can often succeed where others fall short.

Scleral lenses are also durable and long-lasting, making them a practical choice for patients who want reliable, low-maintenance vision correction. They’re ideal for individuals who lead active lifestyles, as they stay securely in place and are less prone to dislodging compared to smaller lenses.
