Scleral Lenses

For individuals struggling with vision issues that standard contact lenses cannot correct, scleral lenses offer a game-changing alternative. These advanced lenses provide exceptional clarity and comfort, making them an excellent choice for patients with irregular corneas, severe dry eye, and other eye conditions. At Texas State Optical, we specialize in fitting and customizing scleral lenses to help our patients achieve optimal vision and eye health.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) rather than the cornea. Unlike traditional contacts, scleral lenses create a tear-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, offering continuous hydration and protection. This unique design provides improved comfort and stability, especially for those with corneal irregularities.

Eye Conditions Scleral Lenses Can Help With

Scleral lenses are a highly effective solution for individuals with various eye conditions, including:

• Keratoconus – A progressive corneal condition that causes thinning and bulging of the cornea, leading to distorted vision.

• Post-Surgical or Post-Trauma Irregularities – Patients who have undergone corneal transplants, LASIK, or suffered eye injuries can benefit from scleral lenses.

• Severe Dry Eye Syndrome – The fluid-filled space under the lens provides constant hydration, alleviating discomfort and dryness.

• Corneal Dystrophies and Scarring – Scleral lenses protect the cornea while enhancing visual acuity.

• High Astigmatism or Prescriptions – Patients with high refractive errors that cannot be corrected with standard lenses may achieve better vision with scleral lenses.
  
  

The Fitting Process

At Texas State Optical, we provide a thorough and precise scleral lens fitting process to ensure the best possible results for our patients.

• Comprehensive Eye Exam – We begin with a detailed evaluation of your eye health and corneal shape using advanced diagnostic technology.

• Custom Lens Design – Using precise measurements, we design a pair of scleral lenses tailored to your specific needs.

• Trial Lens Fitting – We provide trial lenses to assess the fit, comfort, and vision clarity, making necessary adjustments.

• Follow-Up Appointments – After receiving your customized lenses, we schedule follow-ups to fine-tune the fit and ensure long-term comfort and effectiveness.
  
  

The Benefits of Scleral Lenses

• Exceptional Vision Correction – Scleral lenses correct complex vision problems that traditional lenses or glasses cannot.

• Superior Comfort – The lenses rest on the sclera, avoiding direct contact with the sensitive cornea.

• Long-Lasting Hydration – The fluid reservoir prevents dryness and irritation, particularly for those with chronic dry eye.

• Stable and Secure Fit – Scleral lenses remain in place, reducing the risk of displacement or discomfort during daily activities.

• Protection for the Cornea – The lenses provide a protective barrier, helping to prevent further damage in conditions like keratoconus.
