For precise and stable vision, wear scleral contact lenses

Gas-permeable scleral lenses cover the cornea by forming a dome over the white part of the eye. This dome improves vision and increases comfort by creating a new optical surface over the cloudy or damaged cornea. Scleral lenses are a fantastic choice for contact lenses for the following reasons:

Reason 1: A rigid contact lens offers the best vision for many people. Rigid contact lenses are the gold standard for correcting vision, especially for people with severe astigmatism and eye conditions like keratoconus, where the front surface of the eye is not smooth. Scleral contact lenses can offer stable vision even when they rotate with blinking, unlike soft contact lenses that cause vision changes when they turn on the eye.

Reason 2: In contrast to conventional small corneal rigid contact lenses, once the scleral lenses are seated on the eye surface, they are stable and do not eject or dislodge. They shield the delicate cornea from the outside elements, keeping dust and other irritants from getting underneath. Patients who work in dusty environments or near chemical irritants benefit greatly from scleral contact lenses.

 

Scleral lenses, for instance, increase eye comfort despite working with exposure to these eye irritants. Last but not least, patients with trichiasis can benefit significantly from wearing scleral lenses so that the lashes do not irritate or scar the corneal surface. Scleral lenses act as a barrier in these circumstances, preventing the mechanical impact of the lashes against the eye.

 

Reason 3: Scleral lenses offer assurance against dislodgement or ejection while looking in various directions because they contact a larger surface area on the white part of the eye than corneal RGP lenses do. This means that people who wear scleral lenses and enjoy physical contact sports like football, basketball, or soccer can do so with complete assurance that their lenses won't suddenly fall out of their eyes.

 

Reason 4: When appropriately prescribed, scleral contact lenses have the same comfort as soft disposable contacts. Despite the fact that it may seem counterintuitive, the reason for this is that scleral lenses make contact with the white of the eye, which is relatively insensitive. The sensitive cornea or clear front dome of the eye is touched by conventional smaller rigid contact lenses and hybrid contact lenses, which results in lens awareness and discomfort.

 

Additionally, scleral lenses trap non-preserved saline fluid against the eye, maintaining hydration and comfort on the delicate corneal surface. This is the rationale behind using scleral contacts in treating medical dry eye conditions like Sjögren's syndrome, in which the body's immune system attacks and harms the glands responsible for producing tears in the eyes.

 

Reason 5: Scleral lenses are reusable and long-lasting. Although you should be prepared to replace these lenses once a year, they may last longer with proper lens care and consideration of your eye's particular characteristics, such as its propensity to produce mineral, lipid, and protein deposits on the contact lens surface. Scleral lenses offer patients who are carefully chosen enduring value.
