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.

I've been using americas best for years , but aftert the move from Texas to hear i went to the one i... n Lee summit , and I felt like my eyeglasses prescription was not right , like I get headaches but the vision in my glasses or great... so I went to get a 2nd opinion here, and they were very sweet and kind.. I just don't understand why, they lowered my eye prescription from my old prescription when I have a hard time seeing z I thought it more powerful but all in all satisfied 😌 at the bottom i put my old prescription down compared to my new 🙂

My experience here has been very good over time. I really like Kathleen Wilhelmus (Dr. Katie) for m... e and Dr. Hurter has seen my son for several years. He’s also amazing, too. I have no complaints. I wish I could remember the name of the young woman with dark hair that helped me with my glasses. She was really good too. My only critique is the glasses selection. Haven’t been able to find anything I want so am grateful I can bring in my own frames, have them assessed for fitness and use them.

This was literally one of the best experiences I've ever had at a doctors office. Everything was so ... personal and intentional. Each person I interacted with was so kind and made me feel comfortable. Especially Ebony, she spent probably over 45 mins teaching me how to use contacts for the first time. I had a great time with her, she made the whole experience actually enjoyable. I'm looking forward to next year when I can come back for my next exam.
