Scleral Contact Lenses

Scleral Contact Lenses Can Bring You Comfortably Clear Vision

Chronic dry eye is no joke. Scratchy, gritty eyes, blurry vision, and constant discomfort can make even the simplest tasks feel like a battle. While eye drops often offer temporary relief, they rarely address the root of the problem. There's a revolutionary technology waiting to offer lasting comfort and clarity: scleral contact lenses, at Bermel Vision & Aesthetics we can help you decide if this is the right choice for you.

Targeting the Core Issue

Unlike regular contact lenses that sit directly on your cornea, scleral lenses are larger, built to vault over the cornea, creating a fluid-filled chamber between the lens and your eye. This unique design tackles dry eye in two powerful ways:

• Constant Hydration: The fluid reservoir a scleral lens creates acts like a continuous drip, constantly bathing your eye in moisture. This consistent lubrication soothes irritation, reduces grit, and keeps your eyes feeling fresh all day long.
• Protecting Your Cornea: Dry air, wind, and even air conditioning can wreak havoc on your tear film. Scleral lenses act like a shield, protecting your cornea from these drying factors and allowing your natural tears to function more effectively.

More Than Just Dry Eye Relief: Scleral Lenses Offer Versatility

While their ability to conquer dry eye is impressive, scleral lenses offer other benefits for diverse needs:

• Irregular Corneas: Forget struggling with distorted vision due to conditions like keratoconus. Scleral lenses simply bypass the irregularities, providing stable and clear vision even with a bumpy corneal surface.
• Post-Surgery Support: After certain eye surgeries, your cornea may change shape, making traditional lenses a headache. Scleral lenses adapt to these new contours, offering comfortable and effective vision correction.
• Astigmatism Correction: Unlike some lenses that leave residual blur with astigmatism, scleral lenses provide a consistent, smooth optical surface that corrects astigmatism for clear vision at all distances.
