Scleral contact lenses are larger-than-normal contact lenses that rest on the white part of your eye (the sclera) instead of directly on the clear dome shaped front surface (the cornea). They create a small pocket of sterile saline solution between the lens and your eye, helping keep your eyes moist while providing clear, comfortable vision.
Because the lens creates a smooth optical surface over the eye, it can provide sharper, clearer vision than glasses or traditional contacts for people with irregular corneas.
If you’re constantly reaching for eye drops, scleral lenses may help. The layer of saline trapped beneath the lens keeps your eyes hydrated throughout the day, providing long-lasting comfort and relief.
If your vision is blurry or distorted even with glasses or regular contacts, scleral lenses may be the solution. They create a smooth surface over your eye, helping you see more clearly and consistently.
Have you been told you’re “hard to fit” or that contacts just aren’t an option? Scleral lenses are custom-made for your eyes and rest on the white part of the eye instead of the sensitive cornea. Many patients find them surprisingly comfortable and more stable than traditional contact lenses.
