What are Scleral lenses?

A scleral contact lens is a specialty gas permeable lens that is custom fit for an individual’s eye. This type of contact lens works especially well in patients who have corneal disease, scarring, dystrophies, or past corneal surgeries.

" A scleral lens can offer clarity and comfort for patients who have been previously told they were not good candidates for contacts"

I look forward to the opportunity to work with patients to design custom contact lenses which provide optimal vision to the patients distinct visual needs.

The Fitting Process

Prescribing medically necessary contact lenses (MNCL) is a process. Since every patient’s eye is different and because these lenses are totally customized for an individual eye it often takes several visits to complete a lens design that not only fits well but provides adequate vision and exceptional comfort.

Insurance Coverage

In situations that require contact lenses for adequate vision and quality of life, Specialty Contact Lenses are considered “medically necessary” and are often covered by most medical and vision insurance providers.

Our staff will work with the patient to check benefits before the fitting process begins to avoid any surprise out-of-pocket costs.
