Experience Clear, Comfortable Vision with Scleral Contact Lenses
No two eyes are alike, which is why one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short. If you’ve been managing conditions like dry eye, keratoconus, or irregular corneas with limited success, scleral contact lenses may be the answer you’ve been looking for.
These lenses don’t just mask symptoms—they solve problems. For many patients, they’re the difference between surgery and sustained relief.
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?
Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contacts and rest on the white part of the eye (called the sclera). They vault over the cornea and hold a reservoir of fluid between the lens and eye surface, creating a moisture-rich, smooth optical surface.
This unique design makes them ideal for treating corneal irregularities and chronic dryness, offering comfort and clarity where other lenses fall short.
Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are often prescribed for patients with:
- Keratoconus, corneal ectasia, or pellucid marginal degeneration
- Severe dry eye or ocular surface disease
- Irregular corneas from LASIK, RK, or corneal transplants
- High prescriptions or astigmatism
- Chronic lens discomfort or lens intolerance
If you’ve been told you're “hard to fit” or have exhausted your options, scleral lenses may finally offer the consistent comfort and vision you deserve.
Why Scleral Lenses Stand Out
- All-Day Comfort: The fluid reservoir keeps eyes hydrated and comfortable.
- Sharp, Stable Vision: Scleral lenses don’t shift, providing crisp clarity all day.
- Corneal Protection: They shield healing or damaged eyes from exposure.
- Dry Eye Relief: Especially effective for patients with severe or treatment-resistant dryness.
- Durability: With proper care, lenses last 1–2 years.
