Scleral Contact Lens Fitting

Scleral contact lenses are specialized gas-permeable lenses designed to rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye, creating a tear-filled reservoir over the cornea. Larger in diameter than traditional lenses, they offer enhanced comfort by keeping the cornea hydrated, making them particularly suitable for individuals with dry eyes or irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus. Scleral lenses effectively correct various vision problems, including high astigmatism, and their stable fit minimizes movement, providing consistent visual clarity.

Custom-made to accommodate the unique shape of each eye, scleral lenses are a versatile option for those who struggle to achieve satisfactory vision with glasses or standard contact lenses, combining comfort with improved visual acuity. Scleral lenses are designed to be durable and long-lasting. Made from rigid gas-permeable materials, they can withstand regular wear and are less prone to damage compared to soft contact lenses.
