Living with irregular corneas can make it challenging to find effective vision correction. For those with conditions like keratoconus, post-surgical eyes, or severe dry eye, traditional contact lenses or glasses might not offer the comfort or clarity needed. Fortunately, scleral lenses have emerged as a revolutionary solution, providing exceptional comfort and visual acuity. At 20/20 EyeVenue, we offer scleral lenses to help our patients achieve the vision they deserve.
 

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are specialized contact lenses that vault over the cornea, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye). Unlike traditional lenses that sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses create a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the eye's surface. This design not only protects the cornea but also enhances comfort and hydration, making them ideal for individuals with complex eye conditions.
 

Who Should Consider Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are often recommended for individuals who:
 

• Have irregular corneas caused by keratoconus, corneal scarring, or other conditions.

• Experience discomfort or poor vision with standard contact lenses.

• Have undergone corneal surgery such as LASIK or corneal transplants.

• Suffer from severe dry eye syndrome or ocular surface disease.

• Need enhanced vision correction for conditions like pellucid marginal degeneration or corneal ectasia.
   

If you've struggled to find effective vision solutions or have been told you're not a candidate for standard contacts, scleral lenses may be the perfect fit.
 

Benefits of Scleral Lenses for Irregular Corneas

For those with irregular corneas, scleral lenses offer a range of benefits, including:
 

• Improved Visual Clarity: By creating a smooth optical surface, scleral lenses correct distortions caused by irregular corneas.

• Enhanced Comfort: The fluid-filled reservoir cushions the cornea, reducing irritation and providing unparalleled comfort.

• Hydration and Protection: The fluid layer keeps the eye hydrated and protects the cornea from external irritants, making scleral lenses an excellent option for those with dry eye.

• Customized Fit: Scleral lenses are designed to fit the unique shape of your eye, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
