SCLERAL LENSES

FOR KERATOCONUS

AND IRREGULAR CORNEA

WHAT ARE SCLERAL LENSES ?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) rather than the cornea. Their design creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea, providing unparalleled comfort and hydration. This makes them an ideal choice for individuals with irregular corneas, severe dry eye syndrome, keratoconus, or post-surgical complications like corneal transplants. Their custom-fit design ensures they conform perfectly to the eye's shape, providing a seamless combination of comfort and effectiveness for complex vision and medical needs.

Scleral Lens Description

How Scleral Lenses Work

​​

Scleral lenses work by resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye) rather than the cornea. They create a small, protective fluid reservoir between the lens and the cornea, which helps maintain moisture and comfort. The rigid gas-permeable material allows for sharp, stable vision by providing a smooth optical surface, making them ideal for those with irregular corneas or dry eyes.

Who Needs Scleral Lenses?

​​

​Scleral lenses are ideal for individuals with conditions that cause irregular corneas, such as keratoconus, corneal scarring, or post-LASIK complications. They're also beneficial for those with severe dry eye, ocular surface disease, or difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses due to discomfort. Scleral lenses provide a stable, custom fit, offering clear, comfortable vision for individuals who struggle with other lens options.

SEE THE DIFFERENCE
LIFE BEFORE & AFTER WITH SCLERAL LENSES

Before wearing scleral lenses, keratoconus patients often deal with severe visual distortion, ghosting, and discomfort that traditional glasses or soft contacts can’t resolve. After being fitted with scleral lenses, they benefit from a smooth optical surface and a tear-filled cushion that provides exceptional clarity, comfort, and all-day hydration. The improvement in vision and eye health can be life-changing, restoring both visual function and quality of life.

WHY SCLERAL CONTACT LENSES ?

Scleral lenses are ideal for complex vision cases, including advanced keratoconus and other severe corneal irregularities. Unlike traditional contacts, these lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera the white part of the eye providing a stable and comfortable fit. Their design creates a fluid-filled chamber that protects the eye’s surface, improves vision clarity, and offers long-lasting moisture and relief.

HOW TO GET SCLERAL LENSES ?

Consult an Eye Care Professional

To get scleral lenses, consult an eye care professional, such as an optometrist, who will assess your eye health and measure key parameters like corneal shape and curvature. They will then apply trial lenses to evaluate fit, comfort, and vision, making necessary adjustments for optimal results.
