Scleral Contact Lenses, Explained
Scleral lenses are larger than standard contact lenses and are designed to vault over the cornea, resting on the white part of the eye, the sclera. This unique design creates a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, providing exceptional comfort and hydration while correcting vision
Scleral lenses are custom-made for each patient, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance. They are particularly beneficial for individuals with irregular corneas, dry eye syndrome, or other complex vision needs.
Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral contact lenses are an excellent option for patients with:
- Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, causing distorted vision.
- Irregular Corneas: Resulting from conditions like corneal scarring or post-surgical changes.
- Severe Dry Eye Syndrome: The fluid reservoir in scleral lenses provides continuous hydration, offering relief for those with chronic dryness.
- High Astigmatism: Scleral lenses can correct vision for patients with significant astigmatism.
- Hard-to-Fit Eyes: Patients who have struggled with traditional contact lenses often find success with scleral lenses.
The Scleral Lens Fitting Process
At West Village Eye Associates, our eye doctors begin with a comprehensive contact lens exam and corneal mapping to assess your specific needs. Using advanced technology, our optometry team designs scleral lenses tailored to your eyes for a perfect fit. Once fitted, we will guide you through the process of inserting, removing, and caring for your lenses to ensure long-term success.
