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 have written a review before about Advanced Eye Care. I need I feel I must write another one. A ... Show Moremonth or so ago I had issue with contact lens. I had no appointment and asked if someone could please look in my eye to see if any contact was stuck. They said my insurance wouldn't cover that would be a medical issue with insurance. I asked if i could pay out of pocket and they did have an opening to see someone.
I was escorted into an exam room and saw the nicest Dr O. who checked both my eyes to make sure nothing was stuck in either of them. Turned out to be dry eyes only.
I went up to desk to see how much the service had cost and they told me have a good day! I cannot say enough about this place.
Dr Tiffany was my doctor who I absolutely LOVED but is gone.
I will remain a patient love them. Very good people. Give them a try!
