The Revolutionary Scleral Contact Lenses: What You Need to Know

If you have been told that you cannot wear traditional contact lenses due to irregular astigmatism, dry eyes, or other conditions, it is time for you to learn about scleral contact lenses. These lenses are revolutionizing vision correction and giving people who have previously been unable to wear contact lenses a new lease on life.

What are Scleral Contact Lenses?

Scleral contact lenses are specially designed lenses that are larger in diameter than traditional contact lenses. They are also known as corneo-scleral lenses due to the fact that they rest on the cornea and extend onto the sclera, which is the white part of the eye.

The lens is filled with a saline solution that provides a cushion between the eye and the lens. This allows the lens to be worn by people with irregularities in the cornea or other eye conditions that can prevent a traditional contact lens from fitting properly.

Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

One of the main benefits of scleral contact lenses is that they can provide an improved quality of vision compared to glasses or traditional contact lenses. This is because scleral lenses are able to correct for a wider range of irregularities in the eye’s surface, allowing for clearer and sharper vision.

Additionally, scleral lenses can be worn by people who may have been unable to wear contact lenses in the past due to conditions like dry eye syndrome. The saline solution that fills the lens provides a constant source of moisture for the eye, making them more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
