What Are Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses that vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the white of the eye (the sclera). This design creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea, providing exceptional comfort and vision correction for individuals with irregular corneas or other eye conditions.
Why Choose Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are an ideal choice for patients with conditions such as keratoconus, severe dry eye, corneal scarring, or those who have had corneal transplants. Their unique design offers several key benefits:
- Improved Comfort: Scleral lenses provide a smooth, hydrated surface, reducing dryness and irritation.
- Enhanced Vision: The lenses create a new, regular optical surface, correcting vision more effectively than other lenses or glasses.
- Stability: The lenses are more stable on the eye, making them less likely to dislodge during wear.
Our specially trained doctors are experts in diagnosing and treating complex vision issues, helping you achieve your best vision through precise scleral lens evaluation and fitting.
