These are <strong>advanced, custom-designed medical lenses<\/strong> used to treat <strong>keratoconus, corneal disease, severe dry eye, post-LASIK complications, and high or irregular prescriptions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike soft contact lenses, scleral lenses do <strong>not<\/strong> sit on the cornea. Instead, they <strong>vault over it and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera)<\/strong>, creating a <strong>liquid-filled cushion<\/strong> between the lens and your eye. This fluid layer smooths out corneal distortion, protects fragile tissue, and keeps the eye continuously hydrated \u2014 resulting in <strong>clearer vision, greater comfort, and healthier eyes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of our patients come to us after being told,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou\u2019re not a contact lens candidate.\u201d<br>Scleral lenses are often the solution for exactly those patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Should Consider Scleral Contact Lenses?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be an excellent candidate if you have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Irregular Corneas<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keratoconus<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Post-LASIK or post-surgical corneal distortion<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corneal scarring<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Corneal transplants<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These conditions prevent the cornea from focusing light properly. Scleral lenses create a <strong>new, smooth optical surface<\/strong>, often restoring vision that glasses and soft lenses cannot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>High or Complex Prescriptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients with these conditions often struggle with traditional contacts. Scleral lenses are <strong>custom-designed using precise measurements of your eye<\/strong>, allowing us to correct even highly complex prescriptions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Very high nearsightedness or farsightedness<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Severe astigmatism<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Distorted or fluctuating vision<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Severe Dry Eye &amp; Ocular Surface Disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scleral lenses are one of the most effective treatments for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Severe dry eye<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sj\u00f6gren\u2019s syndrome<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stevens-Johnson syndrome<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Graft-versus-host disease<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Neurotrophic cornea<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fluid reservoir acts like a <strong>liquid bandage<\/strong>, keeping the cornea constantly hydrated and allowing damaged tissue to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Patients Who Could Never Wear Contacts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If soft lenses were uncomfortable, fell out, or never gave you clear vision, scleral lenses may finally make contact lens wear possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are Scleral Lenses Covered by Insurance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because scleral lenses are often prescribed for <strong>medical eye conditions<\/strong>, many patients qualify for <strong>medically necessary contact lens benefits<\/strong> through their vision or medical insurance plans.
