Advanced Contact Lenses for Complex Eyes
When traditional contact lenses don’t provide the vision or comfort you need, scleral lenses may offer a better solution.
Scleral lenses are large-diameter specialty contact lenses designed to vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, called the sclera. The space between the lens and the cornea holds a fluid reservoir that can provide exceptional comfort and clear, stable vision.
How Do Scleral Lenses Work?
Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit directly on the cornea, scleral contact lenses create a space between the lens and the eye’s surface. This fluid-filled space can help support comfort while the lens provides a stable optical surface for clearer vision.
Because of their size and design, scleral lenses can be customized for patients whose corneal shape or eye condition makes traditional contact lenses difficult to wear.
Who Can Benefit From Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses may be especially helpful for patients with:
- Keratoconus
- Irregular corneas
- Severe dry eye
- Corneal scarring
- Certain post-surgical corneas
- Difficulty achieving clear vision with traditional contacts
- Contact lens intolerance
For patients with keratoconus, scleral lenses for keratoconus can provide a customized option when standard contact lenses do not provide the desired vision or comfort.
