Scleral lenses are special contact lenses made from a high oxygen permeable material. Scleral lenses are very comfortable for the patient, due to decreased eyelid interaction and lens movement. Another benfit is that they do not dislodge or pop out of the eye, which is a common problem with corneal gas permeable lenses. There is also decreased foreign body entrapment, another common issue with hard lenses or gas permeable lenses in which a piece of dust or dirt gets behind the lens and causes intense pain. The fluid layer created by the scleral lens creates a comfortable ocular environment throughout the lens wear. Scleral lenses are fit by. apracticitioneer trained in thsi technology, and our office is proud to offer the latest technology in scleral lens options.
