4 Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses
-
Cost-effective
Because they're custom fit, the cost of scleral lenses is usually higher than standard contact lenses. However, because sclerals last up to 2 years, they're more cost-effective in the long term.
-
Eye protection
Sclerals are larger than other types of contacts, which allows for better protection from debris, dust and allergens that may irritate or injure your eye.
-
Extra-stable vision
Their extra-large diameter keeps the scleral lenses centered and steady on your eye. If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, their size, shape and customized fit will prevent them from popping out of your eye.
-
Superior hydration
Scleral lenses form a pocket that fills with artificial tears as they vault over your cornea. This lubricating cushion provides an extremely comfortable wearing experience for all-day hydration.
With scleral lenses, you'll experience vision comfort and excellent optics like never before!
Scleral Lenses FAQs
Scleral lenses can provide immense relief to dry eye patients.
These custom-designed lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the scleral while avoiding the irritated cornea. The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a continuous moist environment that protects the cornea and provides relief for those with dry, itchy and burning eyes.
Scleral lenses are custom-fit to your exact corneal measurements. This, along with the lenses' extra-large size, makes the lenses both extra-comfortable and extra-stable on the eye.
This will largely depend on the type of insurance you have. Not all insurances are the same. Some plans will cover the exam and the lens fitting, but will not cover the lenses themselves. Others will agree to pay part or all of the cost, but usually, after other treatment options have been exhausted.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at this optical office from start to finish. The entire vis... Show Moreit was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.
My eye exam with Dr. Wong was thorough and informative. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure all my questions were answered, which really put me at ease. I never felt rushed, and it was obvious she truly cares about her patients’ eye health. The front desk coordinator, Victoria, was incredibly welcoming and organized. She made check-in and scheduling effortles and her friendly attitude set the tone for the entire visit.After my exam, Joan and Tanya helped me with glasses shopping, and they were fantastic. They both have a great eye for style and were so patient while I tried on different frames. They gave honest feedback and helped me find a pair that I absolutely love.On top of that, ordering my year supply of contacts was quick and easy. The team handled everything efficiently, making the process completely stress-free. Overall, this office goes above and beyond in every aspect, customer service, professionalism, and care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great eye care experience!
