Scleral Lens
What are scleral lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, creating a smooth, comfortable surface for vision.
Who are scleral lenses for?
They are often recommended for patients with keratoconus, dry eye disease, corneal irregularities, post-surgical corneas, or those who cannot tolerate traditional contact lenses.
Are scleral lenses comfortable?
Yes. Many patients find scleral lenses extremely comfortable because they don’t touch the sensitive corneal surface and provide constant moisture.
How do scleral lenses help dry eye?
They create a fluid reservoir over the eye, keeping the surface hydrated throughout the day and protecting it from irritation.
How long does it take to get fitted for scleral lenses?
Fitting typically requires multiple visits to ensure proper comfort, vision, and eye health.
Are scleral lenses covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Some medical insurance plans may help when scleral lenses are medically necessary.
