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

Do scleral lenses help with dry eyes?

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.

Are scleral lenses more comfortable than standard contact lenses?

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.

Does insurance cover scleral lenses?

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.

**Amended, I was called and my situation was discussed, options were provided, and ultimately they h... ave done what they could to make it right. That is service one can appreciate. The initial exam and everything was great. The doctor who saw to me was fantastic. Everything else, not great. I went in wanting contacts. I said it every chance I could get, but mentioned I was cautious because the last time I tried them (over a decade ago), it didn't go well. This place was recommended to me by someone who experienced the same thing I did with contacts and said they were great. I was given sample packs to check out, and then that was it in terms of the contacts. No instructions on how to use them (I did my research and got them to work), no questions about going forward with them, nothing. I was, in my opinion, rushed to pick out glasses which I specified was my second choice. Then nothing was really explained in that process, all these options were chosen (if I'm being fair I probably would have chose them anyway) but nothing was discussed in terms of pricing or if I choose glasses, I won't be allowed to use my insurance against my contacts purchase, and on top of that it was nearly $700.00. I should have stopped the whole process but I haven't had an opportunity to go to an eye physician since 2017. As much as I liked the doctor, I won't be going back. When I picked up my glasses and asked about the contacts part, it seemed like the blame was being put on me. They weren't malicious per se, but very passively it seemed like they were saying it was my fault I didn't get contacts and then told me after all that about the part where I couldn't get contacts as well. Plus, I never received a contact prescription either nor was I fitted for any so it's not like I can just go buy them myself without likely having to fork over more money. I rarely ever give a negative review but this one I feel is earned.
