Discover the Benefits of Scleral Lenses for Superior Vision

For individuals who struggle with traditional contact lenses or suffer from certain complex eye conditions, scleral lenses may offer the clarity and comfort they’ve been searching for. At Vision One Eyecare, we specialize in providing advanced vision solutions that are designed to meet your unique needs and help you see the world more clearly.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large, gas-permeable contact lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) and vault over the cornea. Unlike traditional contact lenses that sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses create a smooth optical surface and maintain a fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye, offering enhanced comfort and stability. Because of their unique design, scleral lenses are ideal for individuals who cannot achieve optimal vision correction or comfort with standard contact lenses.

Eye Conditions Scleral Lenses Can Help With

Scleral lenses are particularly beneficial for people with irregular corneas or complex vision needs. Conditions that can be managed with scleral lenses include:

•          Keratoconus

•          Corneal ectasia

•          Post-surgical complications (such as post-LASIK or post-RK vision issues)

•          Severe dry eye syndrome

•          Corneal scarring or irregularities

•          High astigmatism

•          Pellucid marginal degeneration

•          Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

•          Sjogren’s syndrome

Whether caused by disease, surgery, or trauma, these conditions often make traditional soft contact lenses or glasses ineffective for achieving clear vision. Scleral lenses offer a tailored solution that addresses these challenges.

Benefits of Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses offer several advantages over traditional vision correction options:

•          Superior Vision Clarity: They create a perfectly smooth optical surface, even if your cornea is irregular, allowing for sharper vision.

•          Long-Lasting Comfort: The fluid reservoir keeps the eye hydrated, making them especially beneficial for those with dry eyes.

•          Stable Fit: Their large size ensures they remain in place better than regular contact lenses, which can shift or fall out.

•          Custom Fit: Each lens is custom-designed to your eye, ensuring a secure and personalized fit for optimal performance.

•          Protection for the Eye: The lens acts as a barrier against dust and debris, helping protect sensitive eyes.
