Scleral Contact Lens Fitting FAQs for Newport Beach Patients
What are scleral contact lenses?+
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable contact lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (sclera) and vault over the entire cornea. This design creates a smooth optical surface and a fluid reservoir that provides clear vision and comfort for irregular corneas and dry eyes.
How long can I wear scleral lenses each day?+
Most scleral lens wearers can comfortably wear their lenses 12-16 hours per day. The fluid reservoir helps maintain hydration and comfort throughout the day. We customize wearing recommendations based on your specific needs.
Are scleral lenses difficult to insert and remove?+
While scleral lenses require a different technique than soft contacts, most patients master insertion and removal within 1-2 weeks of practice. We provide thorough training and ongoing support until you are completely comfortable.
How long do scleral lenses last?+
With proper care, scleral lenses typically last 2-3 years. The lenses are made from durable gas permeable material. Regular cleaning and annual check-ups help maximize lens life and ensure optimal vision.
Can scleral lenses help with dry eye?+
Yes! Scleral lenses are one of the best treatment options for severe dry eye. The fluid reservoir between the lens and cornea keeps the eye continuously hydrated throughout the day, providing relief when other treatments have failed.
