Discover the Life-Changing Benefits of Scleral Lenses

If you have dry eyes, discomfort from contact lenses, or blurry vision with glasses, scleral lenses might be the answer for you. At Prate Family Eye Care, we focus on fitting custom scleral lenses. These lenses offer great comfort and clear vision for people who have had trouble with other options.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are different from regular contact lenses. They are larger and cover the cornea.

These lenses rest gently on the sclera, which is the white part of your eye. This special design forms a space for fluid between the lens and your eye. It keeps your eyes hydrated all day and ensures a comfortable fit.

Who Benefits from Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are ideal for patients who have experienced:

  • Dry Eye Syndrome: The fluid-filled reservoir provides constant hydration, soothing dryness and irritation.
  • Corneal Irregularities: Conditions such as keratoconus, post-surgery corneas, or corneal scars can improve with these lenses. They help create a smooth surface for clear vision.
  • Discomfort with Regular Contacts: Sclerals’ gentle fit makes them an excellent option for those unable to tolerate traditional lenses.
  • Unclear Vision with Glasses: Some patients have severe astigmatism or other vision problems. For these patients, scleral lenses can provide clearer vision. This is often better than what they get from glasses or soft contact lenses.

The Unique Benefits of Scleral Lenses

  • Exceptional Comfort
    By vaulting over the cornea and avoiding direct contact with sensitive areas, scleral lenses eliminate irritation that many patients experience with other contacts.
  • Hydration and Protection
    The fluid layer keeps eyes moist all day. This makes the lens design of sclerals a great solution for people with chronic dry eye.
  • Superior Vision Quality
    Scleral lenses correct irregularities by creating a smooth optical surface, delivering sharp and reliable vision even for complex prescriptions.
  • Customized Fit
    At Prate Family Eye Care, we custom-design each pair of scleral lenses. This ensures they fit your unique eye shape. You will enjoy maximum comfort and effectiveness.
