Scleral Lens fittings
Clear, stable vision starts with a precise fit. Our scleral lens fittings restore comfort and clarity, even for the most complex eyes.
What are Scleral Lenses? Why are They Different?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter, gas-permeable contact lenses designed to vault over the cornea and rest gently on the white part of the eye (the sclera). This creates a fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye, providing superior hydration, comfort, and vision correction.
Our Scleral Lens Fitting Process
At James Tracey Eye Care, we use advanced diagnostics and a personalized approach to ensure your lenses are tailored precisely to your eye shape and condition.
Here’s what you can expect:
Who’s a Candidate for Scleral Lenses?
Struggling with Standard Lenses
If soft lenses or traditional RGPs feel uncomfortable or unstable, scleral lenses may offer the comfort and clarity your eyes need, especially if standard options haven't worked in the past.
Corneal Condition or Dry Eye
Scleral lenses are ideal for patients with keratoconus, corneal dystrophies, or chronic dry eye. They protect the eye’s surface while improving vision stability and moisture retention.
Post-Surgical or Fluctuating Vision
If you’ve had LASIK, PRK, or corneal transplant surgery, or experience vision that fluctuates or worsens at night—scleral lenses provide more consistent vision correction and comfort.
What are the Benefits of Scleral Lenses?
There are several benefits to wearing scleral lenses, including:
- Stable, High-Definition Vision: Corrects irregular corneal surfaces that glasses and soft contacts can’t
- All-Day Comfort: Vaulting design eliminates corneal friction and helps maintain hydration
- Custom Fit: Tailored to your unique eye shape for maximum precision
- Advanced Technology: We use cutting-edge diagnostics to guide every step of your fitting
