Scleral lenses are not your typical contact lenses. They are larger, covering the entire corneal surface and resting on the white part of the eye, the sclera. This design creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea, making them ideal for a wide range of vision impairments and relieving those with sensitive or irregularly shaped corneas.

Benefits of Scleral Lenses
Frequently Asked Questions
What are scleral contact lenses and how do they differ from regular contact lenses?
Scleral contact lenses are larger in diameter compared to regular contact lenses and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) rather than directly on the cornea. This design provides a smooth optical surface and creates a tear-filled reservoir over the cornea, offering superior comfort and visual clarity, especially for patients with irregular corneas or severe dry eye.
Who can benefit the most from scleral contact lenses?
Patients with conditions such as keratoconus, severe dry eye syndrome, post-surgical corneal irregularities, and those who struggle with comfort and vision using regular contact lenses can greatly benefit from scleral lenses. They are also ideal for individuals with high refractive errors or those who have had corneal transplants.
How are scleral contact lenses fitted and customized?
Fitting scleral lenses involves a detailed examination and mapping of the eye’s surface. Advanced imaging technology is used to measure the shape of the cornea and sclera. The lenses are then custom-made to fit the unique contours of each patient’s eye, ensuring optimal comfort and vision.
What is the maintenance routine for scleral contact lenses?
Scleral contact lenses require a specific cleaning and care routine to maintain their longevity and ensure eye health. Patients need to clean and disinfect the lenses daily using prescribed solutions. It’s also important to regularly replace the solution in the lens case and follow the recommended schedule for lens replacement provided by the eye care professional.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with wearing scleral contact lenses?
While scleral contact lenses are generally safe and well-tolerated, some patients may experience initial discomfort or difficulty with insertion and removal. Proper training and practice can alleviate these issues. In rare cases, there might be a risk of eye infections if the lenses are not properly cleaned and maintained. Regular follow-ups with an eye care professional are crucial to monitor eye health and lens fit.
