FYeyes Blog Posts: Everything About Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera), creating a smooth optical surface and a reservoir of fluid that helps keep the eye hydrated. Unlike standard contact lenses that sit directly on the cornea, scleral lenses provide greater stability, comfort, and improved vision, especially for individuals with irregular corneas, keratoconus, severe dry eye, or post-surgical corneal conditions. These lenses are custom-designed for each eye, making them an excellent option for those who have not found success with traditional contacts.
