Maintaining clear, comfortable vision is essential for everyday life—from reading and driving to enjoying time with family. But if you’ve been diagnosed with keratoconus, dry eye, or have difficulty wearing traditional contacts, you know how frustrating it can be to find the right solution. At Constant Eye Care, we specialize in scleral contact lenses—an advanced, custom-fit lens that offers both comfort and exceptional visual clarity for patients with complex vision needs.
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter, gas-permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera (the white of your eye) instead of the sensitive cornea. They create a fluid reservoir over the cornea, helping to protect it, improve optical clarity, and provide all-day hydration.
This unique design means they not only correct vision problems but also reduce discomfort, making them a life-changing option for patients who have struggled with other lenses.
Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral contact lenses are especially helpful for:
- Keratoconus – A condition where the cornea bulges into a cone shape, leading to distorted vision.
- Severe Dry Eye Syndrome – The fluid reservoir beneath the lens hydrates the eye throughout the day.
- Post-Surgical Corneal Changes – Following LASIK, PRK, or corneal transplants, scleral lenses can restore visual clarity.
- High Astigmatism – When traditional soft lenses can’t provide stability, scleral lenses deliver consistent, sharp vision.
Key Advantages of Scleral Lenses
- Exceptional Comfort – Designed to minimize movement and avoid corneal contact, which reduces irritation.
- Improved Vision – By vaulting over irregularities in the cornea, scleral lenses provide a smooth optical surface.
- Continuous Eye Hydration – Ideal for patients with dry eye, providing relief and protection all day long.
- Enhanced Protection – Scleral lenses act as a shield against dust, wind, and other environmental irritants.
