SCLERAL CONTACT LENSES
Have astigmatism, keratoconus, or severe dry eye?
Atkinson Eye Care in Algonquin provides scleral lenses for superior visual comfort and excellent optics.
WHAT ARE SCLERAL LENSES?
Scleral contact lenses are an extra-large type of rigid gas permeable lenses. Unlike traditional contacts, scleral lenses vault over the entire cornea, leaving a gap between the lens and the corneal surface. They rest on the white part of your eye (your sclera).
Scleral lenses are particularly useful for managing eye conditions such as:
- Keratoconus
- Astigmatism
- Dry Eyes
- Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC)
- Post-refractive surgery (i.e. LASIK, PRK)
- Presbyopia
We welcome you to call Our Eye Doctors to discuss your needs and assess whether scleral lenses are right for you.
