Scleral Lenses

See Clearly & Comfortably with Scleral Lenses

Are traditional contact lenses causing you discomfort or blurry vision? Finding the right contact lens solution can be frustrating, especially for those with irregularly shaped corneas, dry eyes, or severe astigmatism.

At Grand Lake Eyecare, we’re excited to offer scleral lenses—an innovative option that provides comfort, clear vision, and improved eye health for patients who haven’t found success with traditional lenses.

Our team can help you determine if scleral lenses are right for you. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

Beyond Correction: The Advantages of Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses offer several unique benefits beyond just vision correction:

Enhanced Comfort: Their larger diameter and vaulted design eliminate contact with the cornea, resulting in exceptional comfort—even for dry eyes or sensitive corneas.
Improved Eye Health: A constant tear reservoir promotes healthy tear production and protects the cornea from dust, allergens, and irritants.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are specialty gas-permeable contact lenses designed to improve both vision and comfort for individuals affected by dry eye disease or corneal conditions.

These lenses are larger in diameter and rest on the sclera (the white of the eye), vaulting over the cornea and creating a fluid reservoir of non-preserved saline. This reservoir helps hydrate the eye and creates a smooth optical surface that provides sharp, stable vision—often eliminating glare.

Who Might Benefit from Scleral Lenses?

You may be a good candidate for scleral lenses if:

You have an irregularly shaped cornea due to keratoconus, surgery, or other conditions.
Your current contact lenses are uncomfortable or unstable due to high astigmatism.
You suffer from chronic dry eyes.

Scleral lenses are custom-made for each individual and may require more time to fit than standard lenses. At Grand Lake Eyecare, Dr. Gerlach and Dr. Dues use the sMap3D corneal-scleral topographer to ensure an accurate and comfortable fit.

More Benefits of Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses can:

Compensate for irregular cornea shapes by creating a smooth, clear optical surface
Provide long-lasting moisture to dry eyes via their saline reservoir
Offer greater stability than many other contact lenses

For many active individuals, traditional lenses can shift or slip during daily activities like hiking, sports, or outdoor adventures. Scleral lenses provide the reliability and comfort needed for an active lifestyle.

Find Out if Scleral Lenses Are Right for You

If you’ve struggled with traditional contacts due to dry eyes, irregular corneas, or astigmatism, scleral lenses may offer the relief and clarity you’ve been looking for.

During a comprehensive eye exam at Grand Lake Eyecare, we’ll discuss your vision needs and determine whether scleral lenses are the best fit for you.
