SCLERAL LENSES
Many patients have a difficult time wearing contact lenses for a variety of reasons. Eye shape, certain health conditions, and recent medical procedures can cause some patients to be considered “hard to fit” contact lens wearers.
​
For hard to fit patients that would like to wear contact lenses, there are options available that can provide a solution that is both comfortable and effective.
One solution for hard to fit patients is scleral lenses. A scleral lens is a larger lens that rests on the white of the eye, rather than the colored portion (or iris). This type of lens offers many advantages and can make contact lenses a viable option for patients who have previously been told otherwise.
​
The lens covers a larger area than a normal contact lens and creates a pocket filled with artificial tears that fits securely around the eye. Because of their size, scleral lenses provide sharper vision, greater durability, easier handling and a lower risk for complications.
