Scleral Contact Lenses

Unlike standard lenses, these custom-fit specialty contact lenses offer exceptional comfort and clarity—especially for individuals who struggle to wear traditional soft or rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses.

At Vision Source West Sahara, we specialize in scleral contact lens fittings, helping patients achieve clear, stable vision—even when glasses or regular contacts don’t work.

Scleral contact lenses are larger than traditional lenses, resting on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than directly on the cornea. This design creates a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the eye, which:

• Provides Superior Comfort – The lens doesn’t touch the sensitive cornea, reducing irritation.
• Enhances Visual Clarity – The fluid layer corrects irregular corneal shapes for sharper vision.
• Helps Severe Dry Eye – The lens retains moisture, relieving dryness and discomfort.
• Stable & Secure Fit – Scleral lenses stay in place, reducing issues like lenses shifting or falling out.

This makes them ideal for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye syndrome, and other corneal irregularities.

You might be a great candidate for scleral lenses if:

• You have keratoconus or another corneal irregularity.
• You experience chronic dry eye that makes wearing regular contacts difficult.
• You’ve had LASIK or corneal surgery and need a more advanced vision solution.
• You’ve struggled with discomfort or poor vision in traditional lenses.

If you’re tired of blurry vision, discomfort, or frustration with regular contacts, scleral lenses could be the answer you’ve been looking for.

At Vision Source West Sahara, we’re committed to helping you see your best with innovative, customized solutions. Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed with keratoconus or have struggled for years to find the right contacts, our expert team is here to help. Schedule your appointment today to learn more.
