Scleral lenses are specially designed contact lenses that are large in diameter.

They vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye).

This design creates a smooth, hydrated surface that can provide exceptional vision correction, particularly for individuals with the following eye conditions:

  • Irregular cornea caused eye problems like astigmatism
  • Dry eyes
  • Corneal scars
  • Post surgical complications
  • Severe allergies

Why Choose Scleral Lenses?


Here’s why scleral lenses might be the perfect choice for you:

  1. Advanced Vision Correction: Scleral lenses provide clear, sharp vision by creating a smooth, refractive surface over the cornea. This makes them particularly effective for offering a level of clarity that traditional soft contact lenses often cannot achieve.
  1. Enhanced Comfort: Thanks to their large diameter, scleral lenses rest on the less sensitive sclera, rather than the cornea, providing increased comfort, especially for those with sensitive eyes or corneal irregularities. This creates a reservoir of saline solution between the lens and the cornea, keeping your eyes hydrated.
  1. Durability and Stability: Scleral lenses are made from durable materials that maintain their shape and provide stable vision throughout the day. They also stay securely in place, reducing the risk of them moving around or falling out during wear.
  1. Specialty Contact Lens for Unique Needs: They are designed to meet the needs of individuals who may not find success with traditional vision correction methods.

The Scleral Lens Fitting Process


We ensure that each patient receives a comprehensive eye exam to determine the best vision correction option. If scleral lenses are recommended, our fitting process includes:

1. Comprehensive Eye Exam: An in-depth evaluation of your eye health and vision needs to determine if scleral lenses are right for you.

2. Custom Fitting: Our optometrists use advanced technology to measure your eyes and design lenses that provide the best possible comfort and vision.

3. Personalized Care: We guide you through the process of wearing and caring for your scleral lenses, ensuring you are comfortable and confident with your new vision correction solution.
