Advanced Specialty Lens Care at Sun Laser Vision Center
If glasses or soft contact lenses no longer provide clear, comfortable vision, scleral contact lenses may be the advanced solution you’ve been searching for.
At Sun Laser Vision Center in El Paso, TX, we specialize in custom scleral lens fittings for patients with complex corneal conditions, irregular astigmatism, and severe dry eye. Our goal is simple: to help you see clearly and comfortably again.
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter, custom-designed specialty contact lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than directly on the cornea.
They gently vault over the cornea and create a fluid reservoir filled with sterile saline. This smooth optical surface can dramatically improve vision while keeping the eye hydrated throughout the day.
Because they do not touch the sensitive corneal surface, many patients find scleral lenses to be more stable and comfortable than traditional contact lenses.
Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are ideal for patients who struggle with traditional contacts or glasses, especially those with:
- Keratoconus
- Irregular corneas
- Patients who cannot have LASIK
- Severe dry eye syndrome
- Corneal scars or corneal transplants
- High or irregular astigmatism
Many patients who were previously told they were “not candidates” for contact lenses are surprised to learn that scleral lenses may be an option.
Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses
Patients choose scleral lenses for:
- Sharper, more stable vision
- All-day comfort
- Relief from dry eye symptoms
- Protection and support of the ocular surface
- Improved quality of life
