Comprendiendo Scleral Lenses
Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault over the entire cornea, providing exceptional vision and comfort for patients who cannot achieve good results with traditional contact lenses or glasses.
At EyeCare Center of Orange County, Dr. Alexander Bonakdar has over 35 years of experience fitting scleral lenses for keratoconus, post-surgical complications, severe dry eye, and other complex corneal conditions. We utilize the latest lens technologies including Multifocal, Toric, and HOA (Higher Order Aberration) correction to provide not just fit, but superior visual quality. Our advanced fitting technology and extensive lens inventory allow us to achieve optimal fits for even the most challenging cases.
Doctor's Insight: Common Questions
Direct Answers from Dr. Bonakdar
¿Son cómodas las lentes esclerales?
Sí, sorprendentemente suelen ser más cómodas que las lentes rígidas estándar. Como se arquean sobre la sensible córnea y descansan en la parte blanca del ojo (esclerótica) que tiene menos nervios, la mayoría de los pacientes no las sienten una vez insertadas.
¿Quién es un buen candidato para las lentes esclerales?
Probablemente sea candidato si tiene una córnea irregular (queratocono), ojos secos severos, o si las lentes de contacto estándar y las gafas no le dan una visión clara. Actúan como un vendaje líquido que suaviza las irregularidades visuales.
¿Cuánto duran las lentes esclerales?
Las lentes esclerales están fabricadas con materiales duraderos y de alta calidad, y generalmente duran 2-3 años. Recomendamos revisiones anuales para asegurarnos de que el ajuste se mantenga saludable, ya que la forma del ojo o de la lente puede cambiar ligeramente con el tiempo.
