A patient grappling with severe dry eye due to an inability to fully close her eyelids after multiple surgeries found relief through an innovative treatment. The incomplete closure of her eyelids had exacerbated her condition, leaving her in constant discomfort and significantly impairing her vision.
To address her unique needs, we recommended a scleral lens. Unlike traditional lenses, scleral lenses vault over the entire corneal surface, creating a tear-filled vault that protects the eye and keeps it moist. This design not only helps to manage dry eye by maintaining a hydrating barrier but also corrects vision by providing a smooth refractive surface.
The results for our patient were transformative. She described the adoption of scleral lenses as the “best thing she’s done for her eyes,” noting not only the substantial relief from dry eye symptoms but also the remarkable improvement in her vision. The combination of therapeutic and visual benefits has greatly enhanced her quality of life.
For those suffering from severe dry eye, especially due to conditions that traditional treatments do not adequately address, scleral lenses might offer the dual benefits of symptom relief and visual clarity.
