What Are

Scleral Lenses?

Custom-fit scleral lenses help patients with corneal irregularities achieve dramatic improvements in visual acuity and comfort. Scleral lenses vault over the cornea and prevent discomfort by resting on the sclera so as not to place any pressure on the cornea. This creates a new optical surface to replace the damaged cornea. Moreover, the reservoir of pure saline solution between the back surface of the lens and the front of the cornea ensures that the eye is always in a liquid environment – making it optimal for healing.

Due to their size, scleral lenses are more stable on the eye than conventional GP lenses and are therefore less likely to accidentally dislodge from the eye. This stability makes them more comfortable, especially for sensitive eyes or irregularly shaped corneas. Moreover, all scleral lenses are made with highly breathable gas permeable material so that plenty of oxygen reaches the front of the eye, keeping it healthy and comfortable.

Advantages Of Wearing

Scleral Lenses

With scleral lenses, you’ll experience consistently clear vision—even if you have an irregular cornea. Here are some of the benefits provided by scleral lenses:

• Super-size diameter: This helps them stay centered and stable on your eye, and prevents them from popping out easily.

• Made from high-quality materials: This means they'll last for the long haul.

• Protects against allergies: The large size of the lens blocks debris, dust, and allergens.

• Highly breathable: Gas permeable material ensures ample oxygen reaches the eye.

• Lubricating Cushion: They have a pocket that fills with moisturizing tears, for a very comfortable wearing experience, and healthier eyes.

for Keratoconus Treatment in Lewis Center

Scleral Lenses

One of the most common conditions that scleral lenses help to address is keratoconus. This condition occurs when the normally round, clear part at the front of the eye, the cornea, begins to thin and bulge into a cone or football-like shape. This can severely harm your vision. Symptoms include:
​​​​​​​

• Blurred or distorted vision
• Sudden worsening or clouding of vision
• Increased light sensitivity

Scleral lenses help with this by providing a dome-like surface over the abnormal cornea, creating proper refraction for clear vision.

It is our strong belief that good vision helps make a good life. Vision problems affect all aspects of your life. Relieve your discomfort by scheduling a consultation with Dr. McClure and/or Dr. Johnson and we’ll help you find the best solution for your condition and lifestyle.
