Scleral Lenses for Dry Eyes

Are you tired of hearing that your dry eyes are too severe to wear contact lenses? Often those with chronic dry eyes are forced to wear eyeglasses because they lack sufficient lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eyes. Because of this, wearing regular contact lenses for long periods of time can make your eyes even more uncomfortable. But you don’t have to give up the convenience contacts offer if you have dry eye. Scleral lenses are particularly helpful for those with dry eyes. That’s because they provide extra moisture for healthy eyes, as well as for patients with severe dry eyes.

How They Help Dry Eyes

The design of scleral lenses ensures constant hydration of the eye. That’s because the space between the surface and the scleral lens is filled with a saline solution. The solution acts as a constant source of hydration, providing comfort for those with mild to severe dry eyes that otherwise would not be able to tolerate wearing contact lenses.
