What are Scleral Lenses? </span>
<div class=”ecp-richtext ecp-instance-DqeksrfTV8″>
<p>Scleral contact lenses are rigid gas permeable lenses with an extra-wide diameter. As opposed to traditional contacts, scleral lenses vault over the entire cornea, leaving a gap between the lens and the corneal surface before coming to rest on the white part of your eye (your sclera).</p>
<p>Their unique design has taken scleral lenses to the top of the charts for ultimate wearing comfort, healthy eyes, <span style=”font-weight: 400;”>and excellent vision for people of all ages.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>They are custom-fit to your eye and are perfect for those with</span><b> hard-to-fit eyes, astigmatism, keratoconus, severe dry eye,</b><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> or for those simply seeking more comfort when wearing contact lenses.</span></p>

What Are The Advantages Of Wearing Scleral Lenses? </span>
<span>With scleral lenses, you’ll experience consistently clear vision—even if you have an irregular cornea. Here are some of the benefits provided by scleral lenses:</span>
<ul>
<li><span>Their super-size diameter ensures that they stay centered and stable on your eye, which also prevents them from popping out easily, even if you play sports or lead an active lifestyle.</span></li>
<li><span>They are made up from high quality, durable materials to last for the long haul.</span></li>
<li><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>The large size of the lens protects your eyes from debris, dust, and allergens, providing a perfect solution if you suffer from eye allergies.</span></li>
<li><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>They are composed of highly breathable gas permeable material, which ensures that ample oxygen reaches the eye, leading to healthy eyes and comfortable lens wear. </span></li>
<li>These lenses have a pocket that fills with moisturizing tears. This wet, lubricating cushion leads to a very comfortable wearing experience, as well as healthier eyes.</li>
</ul>

Who Wears Scleral Lenses? </span>
<div class=”ecp-callout-content clear”>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Some wear them for increased comfort, while others choose sclerals because specific eye problems prevent them from wearing regular contact lenses or glasses.</span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Scleral lenses are extremely helpful in managing the following conditions:</span></p>
<p><b>Dry Eyes:</b><span style=”font-weight: 400;”> For people with gritty, itchy and dry eyes, wearing traditional contact lenses are an added irritation. In contrast, the tear reservoir between the back of the scleral lens and the cornea, the front surface of the eye, allows your eyes to remain moist and comfortable all day long. This makes scleral lenses ideal for those with dry eye syndrome.</span></p>
<p><b>Hard-to-Fit Eyes: </b><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Those with irregularly shaped cornea, whether due to natural causes, an eye condition (i.e. keratoconus), or complications following surgery (such as LASIK), can at times develop vision problems that cannot be corrected using glasses or soft contact lenses. In such cases, scleral lenses provide a more comfortable, secure fit, and sharper vision.</span></p>
<p><b>Scleral lenses are particularly useful for managing these eye conditions:</b></p>
<ul>
<li style=”font-weight: 400;”><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Keratoconus</span></li>

<span class=”ecp-accordion-trigger-label”>How do Scleral Lenses Help with Dry Eye Syndrome? </span>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Scleral lenses tackle three factors simultaneously: they provide vision correction, they protect the eye, and they serve a therapeutic purpose by lubricating the eye. </span></p>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>By filling the bowl of the lens with unpreserved saline solution prior to inserting it in the eye, you ensure that your eyes are always in a hydrated and comfortable environment. This provides relief from unpleasant dry eye symptoms such as pain, discomfort, eye redness, and itchiness while providing sharp, clear vision.</span></p>
<span class=”ecp-accordion-trigger-label”>Why Do Scleral Lenses Offer Superior Comfort?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Scleral lenses are custom-fit to each person’s unique eye shape, corneal curves, and contours, providing unparalleled comfort. Their size and shape also ensure stability.</span>
<p><span style=”font-weight: 400;”>To design the lenses, <span data-sheets-value=”{"1":2,"2":"[tokens name=’SpDoctorSC’]"}” data-sheets-userformat=”{"2":12929,"3":{"1":0},"10":2,"12":0,"15":"arial,sans,sans-serif","16":12}”>Dr. Monte Harrel </span>will take exact measurements of your cornea through a process called corneal topography. This process ensures that your personal pair of scleral lenses allows the right amount of light in and sits stably on the eye, thus offering superior vision, all-day ocular hydration, and increased comfort. </span></p>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>If other contact lenses haven’t worked for you, don’t despair — you may be a candidate for scleral lenses. Talk to <span data-sheets-value=”{"1":2,"2":"[tokens name=’SpDoctorSC’]"}” data-sheets-userformat=”{"2":12929,"3":{"1":0},"10":2,"12":0,"15":"arial,sans,sans-serif","16":12}”>Dr. Monte Harrel </span>to determine your best course of action.</span>
<span class=”ecp-accordion-trigger-label”>Does Insurance Cover Scleral Lenses?</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>When it comes to scleral lenses, every insurance company is different. Some cover the eye exams and custom fitting, but not the actual lenses. Others may cover a portion of the cost or 100% of the cost, but only if other treatment methods have been exhausted. It’s important that you consult with your insurance provider to understand the particulars of your scleral lens coverage.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>It is our strong belief that one’s quality of life is profoundly associated with one’s vision. Vision problems, whether due to keratoconus, LASIK, ocular trauma corneal irregularities, or dry eye syndrome, affect all aspects of a patient’s life.</span>
<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>Relieve your discomfort by scheduling a consultation with <span data-sheets-value=”{"1":2,"2":"[tokens name=’SpDoctorSC’]"}” data-sheets-userformat=”{"2":12929,"3":{"1":0},"10":2,"12":0,"15":"arial,sans,sans-serif","16":12}”>Dr. Monte Harrel</span> and we’ll help you find the best solution for your condition and lifestyle.</span>
