What Are Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral contact lenses are large, rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses that cover the entire cornea and extend onto the sclera (the white part of the eye). Unlike traditional contact lenses, which sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye. The scleral contact lens fitting process is highly individualized, ensuring a precise and customized solution for each patient’s unique characteristics.

Who Can Benefit From Scleral Contact Lenses?

Scleral contact lenses are versatile and can be used for various eye conditions and vision issues. They are particularly beneficial for:

These hard contact lenses for Keratoconus provide excellent vision correction by vaulting over the cone-shaped cornea.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Irregular Corneas

Conditions like astigmatism or corneal scarring can make it challenging to achieve clear vision with standard contact lenses. Scleral lenses provide a stable and comfortable solution.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Severe Dry Eyes

The fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye helps keep the cornea continuously moist, making scleral lenses a comfortable option for those with chronic dry eye.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Post-Corneal Transplant

Individuals who have undergone corneal transplant surgery may benefit from the stability and vision correction provided by scleral lenses.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light High Refractive Errors

Scleral lenses are suitable for individuals with severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

arrow-circle-right-3 arrow-circle-right-3-light Bifocal or Multifocal Needs
