A scleral lens is a large diameter, gas-permeable contact lens and is designed to rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). Scleral lens forms a vault over the cornea by creating a tear-filled reservoir between the lens and the eye’s surface. This design provides comfort and clear vision, for people with irregular corneas or certain eye diseases.
Scleral lenses create a smooth optical surface over the irregular cornea. The lens creates a vault over the cornea and the fluid reservoir underneath it helps to keep the cornea hydrated, which promotes healing and reducing symptoms of dry eye. The larger diameter of the lens and its contact with the sclera allow good stability and comfort.
Scleral lenses offer several advantages:
1. Enhanced Comfort
2. Improved Vision
3. Protection from external factors which promotes healing
1. Mini-Scleral Lenses: These lenses are smaller in diameter when compared to the rest of sclerals. These lenses are suitable for mild to moderate conditions.
2. Full Scleral Lenses: These lenses are larger in diameter and cover more of the sclera. These are ideal for severe conditions or irregularities.
3. Semi-Scleral Lenses: The diameter of these lenses ranges in-between mini and full scleral lenses, offering a balance between comfort and coverage
The lens selection of the scleral lens depends upon the specific condition of your eyes, your comfort preferences, and your visual needs. A contact lens consultant will evaluate factors like corneal shape, eye health, and the severity of your condition to provide you with the suitable lens.
Scleral lenses require precise fitting to make sure they are comfortable and effective. A contact lens specialist will conduct a thorough eye examination and use advanced imaging to acquire a customized fit. They also provide continuous care to ensure your lenses continue to meet your needs.
