Dryness, irritation, pain and blurry vision, wouldn’t it be great to stop focusing on your eye issues? Whether you’re dealing with dry eyes an irregular cornea or combating Keratoconus, scleral contact lenses are specially designed to treat a wide range of disorders and diseases. Because of their size, scleral contact lenses functionally replace the irregular cornea with a perfectly smooth surface. This helps to correct vision caused by keratoconus and other corneal irregularities.
How Can Scleral Contact Lenses Help You?
Scleral contact lenses provide extra moisture for healthy eyes, as well as for patients with severe dry eyes. And, because they vault over the cornea and rest on the white portion of the eye, the result is more comfort and stability. These contact lenses can be life changing because they offer amazing comfort and sharp vision for patients who have not found success with other methods (glasses or soft contacts).
Scleral contact lenses are usually more comfortable to wear than smaller RGP contact lenses.
