If glasses and regular contact lenses no longer give you clear or comfortable vision, you may be a candidate for scleral contact lenses. These are advanced, custom-designed medical lenses used to treat keratoconus, corneal disease, severe dry eye, post-LASIK complications, and high or irregular prescriptions.
Unlike soft contact lenses, scleral lenses do not sit on the cornea. Instead, they vault over it and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera), creating a liquid-filled cushion between the lens and your eye. This fluid layer smooths out corneal distortion, protects fragile tissue, and keeps the eye continuously hydrated — resulting in clearer vision, greater comfort, and healthier eyes.
Many of our patients come to us after being told,
“You’re not a contact lens candidate.”
Scleral lenses are often the solution for exactly those patients.
