Who Needs Scleral Contact Lenses?

Scleral contact lenses are specialized lenses designed to fit the entire cornea, providing an even layer of moisture and protection from irritants and bacteria. This makes them particularly useful for those with unique vision needs or those who suffer from dry eyes or other eye issues.

In this blog, we will discuss who would benefit best from these contact lenses.

Patients with Corneal Irregularities or Diseased Corneas

Those with corneal irregularities, such as keratoconus or an irregularly shaped cornea, may benefit from scleral contact lenses. These lenses provide extra protection for the eye and can help improve vision by helping the light refract evenly over the entire eye surface.

Patients with High Astigmatism

Those with higher amounts of astigmatism may find that scleral contact lenses can help to reduce the distortion caused by this condition. The extra layer of protection from the lens helps to keep light from bouncing off the eye at different angles, which can lead to blurred vision and headaches.

Patients with Dry Eyes

Scleral contact lenses can help those who suffer from dry eyes as the lens helps to provide a layer of moisture over the eye and prevents irritants from entering. This can reduce irritation, redness and blurred vision often associated with dry eyes.

Patients with Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a common age-related condition that causes difficulty focusing on close objects. Scleral contact lenses can help correct this by providing a more even surface for the light to refract off, reducing distortion and improving visual clarity.

Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral contact lenses offer many benefits, including improved comfort, visual acuity, reduced risk of eye infections and improved quality of life. The extra layer of protection provided by the lens also helps keep irritants out while providing an even layer of moisture over the entire cornea.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Scott H.

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
