Scleral Lens

Have you had trouble wearing contact lenses in the past?

Maybe they were uncomfortable, or you were not considered a good candidate for contact lenses due to an eye condition or shape of your eye.

Scleral contact lenses could be just the right fit.

What are scleral contact lenses?

Scleral contact lenses are highly breathable, gas-permeable lenses that are custom-fit to vault over your entire cornea and rest on the sclera or β€œwhite” of the eye. They offer benefits for patients suffering from a wide range of ocular impairments or hard-to-fit eyes.

Benefits of Scleral contact lenses

  • Greater durability and easier handling than traditional or soft contact lenses
  • Provide crisper and clearer vision
  • Precise fit due to the specialized design and customized fit
  • Morph irregular corneal surfaces into smooth optical surfaces
  • Correct vision problems caused by corneal ectasia, corneal irregularities, and other visual impairments
  • Acts as a tear reservoir to keep the front of the eye moist, offering relief to dry eyes.
  • Aids in ocular surface healing

To Achieve Proper Fit

  1. Schedule an Eye Exam with New Insight Family Eyecare and mention scleral lenses.
  2. During the exam, measurements of your eye will be taken to find the proper fit for the lenses, and the correct power of the lenses will be determined to obtain the clearest vision.
  3. You may try on different scleral lens types to experience the comfort and vision they can provide.
  4. The doctor will design and order the proper-customized lenses for your eyes.
  5. When the office receives your lenses (approximately two weeks), you will return for a follow up appointment to check for proper fit, vision, and comfort. During this appointment you will practice inserting and removing your lenses and learn how to care for them.

Glasses are no longer your only option. Clear and Crisp Vision is possible for everyone! New Insight Family Eyecare offers sclera contact lenses to help!
