Specialty Contact Lenses

​​​​​​​Why Do We Use Them?

Sometimes, people's eyes need extra help to feel comfortable or see clearly. Maybe the shape of their eyes is a little different, or they have something making their eyes sore or dry. Regular contact lenses might not work as well for them, kind of like how some shoes don’t fit everyone’s feet. Scleral lenses are big and gentle. They don’t touch the sensitive part of your eye (the colorful part we call the iris or the clear window called the cornea). Instead, they rest on the white part of your eye, called the sclera.

Cool Things Scleral Lenses Can Do

• They help people who have very special eyes or need extra care to see clearly.

• These lenses keep your eyes wet so they don’t feel dry or scratchy, like giving your eyes a drink of water all day!

• They can protect your eyes if they’re sensitive or need a little extra love.

So, scleral contact lenses are like magic helpers for people’s eyes, giving them comfort and clear vision when regular lenses or glasses can’t do the trick. They’re pretty amazing!
