What are scleral lenses?

Scleral contact lenses are larger diameter lenses made of rigid gas
permeable materials. Unlike corneal rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses,
scleral lenses do not touch the cornea and instead vault over the entire
cornea. They provide comfort without compromising sharp vision. Unlike
conventional soft lenses, scleral lenses are custom made to your eyes and
are a great lens option for individuals with dry eyes.

Due to their highly customizable design scleral lenses are among the most
comfortable contacts around, providing excellent vision for people of all
ages.

Scleral lenses are a great option for patients with:

- Dry eyes
- Unsuccessful history with other contact lenses (either due to poor
vision or comfort)
- High or complicated prescriptions that are not available in
conventional contact lenses
- Keratoconus or any type of corneal degeneration or dystrophy,
transplants, scarring or trauma or post-LASIK complications
