Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus, Dry Eye, & Astigmatism

Scleral lenses are transforming how we address various eye conditions, offering new hope for individuals dealing with keratoconus, dry eye, and astigmatism. Scleral lenses are distinct from conventional contacts because they vault over the cornea, settling on the sclera. These specialty lenses can correct vision and offer enhanced comfort. Discover how our scleral lenses could support your vision and lifestyle by visiting us for a personal contact lens exam and fitting.

Keratoconus

Keratoconus occurs when your cornea becomes thinner and protrudes in a cone shape. Keratoconus can make it difficult to wear contact lenses, but scleral lenses can be a great option for many people with keratoconus.

By vaulting over the cornea, these lenses can offer comfort that standard contacts may not provide.

Dry Eye

While standard contacts may aggravate dry eye symptoms, scleral lenses may help alleviate them. Their larger size holds a moisture reservoir between the lens and the cornea, helping alleviate dry eye symptoms and reduce your reliance on artificial tears and other moisture-inducing eye drops.

Astigmatism

Astigmatism is caused by an uneven curvature in your cornea, leading to blurry or distorted vision across various distances. Scleral lenses can provide a seamless refractive surface that helps correct vision for people with astigmatism.
