Scleral Lenses at Whetstone Eye Care: A Breath of Fresh Air for Your Vision

For individuals with irregular corneas or dry eyes, achieving optimal vision can be an ongoing challenge because traditional contact lenses do not provide the level of comfort and clarity needed. However, scleral lenses offer a unique and effective solution, allowing many to experience the freedom and clarity of exceptional vision.

At Whetstone Eye Care, a leading provider of advanced eye care services in Naples, Florida, we’re proud to offer comprehensive scleral lens services, from initial consultations and fittings to ongoing care and support.

What are Scleral Lenses?

They are large, rigid, gas-permeable contact lenses designed for exceptional comfort and vision. Unlike traditional lenses sitting on the cornea, these vault over it, resting on the white part of the eye (sclera). This unique design benefits individuals with irregular corneas and certain eye conditions, offering optimal vision without discomfort.

The Multiple Advantages of Scleral Lenses

These innovative lenses offer several advantages, including:

Unmatched Comfort: One of its most significant benefits is that scleral lenses vault over the cornea, unlike regular lenses that sit on it. This helps minimize friction and irritation, especially for those experiencing discomfort with regular contact lenses.

Long-lasting Moisture: Scleral lenses create a continuous reservoir of tears between the lens and your cornea. This prevents dryness, relieves those with chronic dry eye syndrome, and ensures all-day comfort.

Sharper Vision: The stable design of scleral lenses means minimal movement and a smooth surface over irregular corneas. This translates to exceptional visual clarity and sharper vision, minimizing distortions or glare.

Versatility for Various Conditions: From dry eye syndrome and keratoconus to post-LASIK complications, scleral lenses offer a solution for many eye conditions. Their unique design addresses specific challenges that traditional lenses can't.

Customized Fit: Scleral lenses are tailored to the exact shape of your eye, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit. This personalized approach optimizes comfort and the correction of complex vision problems.

Enhanced Corneal Protection: By vaulting over the cornea, scleral lenses act as a protective shield, reducing irritant exposure and promoting healing after surgeries. This is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or compromised corneas.
