Scleral Contact Lenses
If you have been diagnosed with keratoconus or have an irregular cornea, and your vision with glasses is poor, you would most likely benefit from scleral contact lenses. These are gas permeable (hard lenses) that are large and rest on the white of the eye without touching the cornea. This creates a smooth surface in order for light to travel through and be focused more accurately on the retina. This means that we can achieve good vision with scleral lenses when glasses are no longer able to provide this.
Louise Solomon-Percil has over twenty years experience in corneal conditions, including laser eye surgery and its complications, having worked in specialist clinics for both of these. We work closely with a corneal specialist ophthalmologist to ensure we provide you with the optimum service for your specific condition.
Scleral lenses are comfortable to wear and provide excellent vision.
Scleral lenses are large, gas-permeable lenses that vault over your entire cornea and rest on the white part of your eye (the sclera). They create a smooth optical surface and maintain constant hydration.
Scleral lens fitting is our most specialized service, requiring advanced technology and expertise:
-
Detailed eye surface mapping using our OCT technology
-
Custom lens design based on your unique eye shape
-
Multiple fittings to achieve optimal comfort and vision
-
Training on specialized insertion and care techniques
These lenses can provide excellent vision for people who can't wear other types of contacts due to irregular corneas, keratoconus, dry eyes, or previous eye surgeries. If traditional contacts haven't worked for you, sclerals might be your solution for comfortable, clear vision all day long.
