Large, gas-permeable contact lenses called scleral lenses rest on the sclera, (the white portion of the eye), and vault over the whole corneal surface. As a solution for various eye problems, they give comfort and better vision.
The way in which these types of lenses function can be described as forming a fluid supply between the lens and cornea that keeps the latter hydrated and provides an even surface for sight. This can come in handy when dealing with visual impairments caused by corneal irregularities such as severe dry eye syndrome or keratoconus.
There is no other eyewear option that offers as much comfort throughout wear like this one due to its large size which distributes pressure evenly on top of the eyes’ front parts.
They also correct better vision among those who have undergone surgery resulting into unevenness of their cornea or people diagnosed with keratoconus.
Apart from acting as a barrier that keeps moisture levels up around sensitive tissues found at front section of one’s eyeballs; these devices can help individuals suffering from extreme cases where there is little or no tear production thus making it impossible for them to see clearly without using such an aid like wetting drops alone would not suffice.
