Also known as ocular surface prostheses, the scleral lenses are rigid gas permeable lenses with an extra-wide diameter. It is used for treatment of keratoconus and other eye problems. Before coming to rest on the whites of your eyes, these lenses vault over the entire cornea which leaves a gap between the corneal surface and the lens. Some of the benefits of wearing Scleral contact lenses as compared to standard contracts are briefly discussed in this blog.
Safe and easy to use
The hard materials and large size of scleral lenses make them much easier to insert and remove from your eye if you have poor vision or problem with manual dexterity. The risk of accidentally injuring your cornea while you handle your lenses is also reduced significantly due to hard materials and larger size of these lenses.
Long lasting lenses
These contacts lenses typically last for the long haul as they are constructed from high quality and durable materials. You’ll benefit from maximum value for money while the initial cost of these lenses may be higher than standard contacts available online.
Comfortable for dry eyes
These lenses create a pocket that fills the moisturizing tears as they vault over your cornea. This wet lubricating cushion leads to a very comfortable wearing experience for dry as well as healthier eye. Rubbing is minimized and your risk of corneal abrasion is significantly reduced as these lenses don’t touch your corneal surface.
Stable vision
Even if you have an extremely irregular cornea, you will experience consistently clear vision with these rigid gas permeable contacts. They stay centered and stable on your eye due to their larger diameter. Additionally, the large size of these lenses also prevents them from popping out easily even if you play sports or lead a very active lifestyle.
