Scleral Lenses for Clear Vision - Brampton Eye Clinic, ON

For individuals struggling with complex vision issues or discomfort from traditional contact lenses, scleral lenses offer a breakthrough in eye care. These innovative lenses are designed to address a variety of eye conditions while providing exceptional comfort and clarity. At Brampton Eye Clinic, we specialize in fitting customized scleral lenses to meet the unique needs of each patient.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera, or the white part of the eye, rather than directly on the cornea. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which sit on the corneal surface, scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the eye. This design provides both comfort and exceptional vision correction, making them ideal for people with certain eye conditions or those who struggle with conventional contact lenses.

Eye Conditions Scleral Lenses Can Help Treat

Scleral lenses are a versatile option for addressing various eye conditions, including:

Keratoconus: Scleral lenses provide stability and smooth out the irregularities in the cornea caused by keratoconus, offering sharper and clearer vision.
Dry Eye Syndrome: The fluid reservoir in scleral lenses keeps the cornea hydrated, making them an excellent option for individuals with severe dry eye.
Corneal Scars or Irregularities: For those with corneal scars or irregular shapes due to injury or surgery, scleral lenses can improve vision and comfort.
Post-LASIK Complications: Patients who experience complications or irregularities following refractive surgeries often find relief with scleral lenses.
Severe Allergies or Sensitivities: Scleral lenses protect the cornea from allergens and irritants, providing relief for sensitive eyes.
Graft-Versus-Host Disease: Scleral lenses can help manage the chronic dry eye symptoms associated with this condition.

Benefits of Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses offer numerous benefits that make them an ideal solution for specific vision needs:

Enhanced Vision: The unique design provides clear, crisp vision by vaulting over corneal irregularities.
Comfort: Their larger size and custom fit ensure they are stable and comfortable for extended wear.
Hydration: The fluid reservoir keeps the eye hydrated, reducing discomfort from dryness.
Protection: Scleral lenses shield the cornea from external irritants and promote healing in damaged or sensitive eyes.
Customizable Fit: Each lens is tailored to the individual, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
