Here\u2019s what you should know about these specialty contact lenses.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019ve struggled with traditional contact lenses because of dry eye, an irregular cornea or a condition such as keratoconus, your eye doctor may recommend a different option: <a href=\"https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/?page_id=367\">scleral lenses<\/a>. These specialty contact lenses are larger than traditional contacts and are designed to vault over the cornea while resting on the white portion of the eye, called the sclera. A fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and cornea can provide both vision correction and protection for the eye\u2019s surface. <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/treatments\/scleral-lenses\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because scleral lenses look and work differently from the contacts many people are familiar with, patients naturally have questions. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about scleral lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Scleral Lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Atkinson-Eye-Care-Algonquin-Scleral-Lenses-FAQ--1024x576.png\" alt=\"Scleral Lenses FAQ Atkinson Eye Care Algonquin\" class=\"wp-image-1622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Atkinson-Eye-Care-Algonquin-Scleral-Lenses-FAQ--1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Atkinson-Eye-Care-Algonquin-Scleral-Lenses-FAQ--300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Atkinson-Eye-Care-Algonquin-Scleral-Lenses-FAQ--768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Atkinson-Eye-Care-Algonquin-Scleral-Lenses-FAQ-.png 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scleral lenses are large-diameter, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses. Instead of resting primarily on the cornea like many traditional contacts, a scleral lens extends over the cornea and rests on the sclera, or white part of the eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lens creates a small space between itself and the cornea that is filled with preservative-free sterile solution before the lens is inserted. This fluid reservoir remains over the cornea while the lens is worn, which is one reason scleral lenses can be particularly helpful for certain corneal and ocular surface conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Can Benefit From Scleral Lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scleral lenses can be used for both vision correction and management of certain eye conditions. They are often considered for patients with irregular corneas or those who haven&#8217;t been successful with more conventional contact lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may be recommended for patients with conditions such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keratoconus and other irregular corneal conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Severe dry eye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Corneal scarring or damage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Certain ocular surface diseases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Significant refractive errors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Difficulty achieving satisfactory vision or comfort with traditional contacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scleral lenses are one of the specialty lens options used to improve vision in people with keratoconus, where the irregular shape of the cornea can make correction with standard lenses more challenging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Scleral Lenses Help With Dry Eye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For some patients, yes. The fluid reservoir underneath a scleral lens keeps fluid in contact with the cornea while the lens is being worn. This can make scleral lenses useful in managing some cases of severe dry eye and other ocular surface conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dry eye has many possible causes, however, and scleral lenses aren&#8217;t necessarily the right treatment for everyone experiencing dryness. An eye examination can help determine what is contributing to your symptoms and which treatment options are appropriate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Scleral Lenses Comfortable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their size can make scleral lenses look intimidating at first, but bigger doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean less comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike smaller rigid lenses that sit on the sensitive corneal surface, scleral lenses are designed to vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera. The sclera is less sensitive than the cornea, which can make properly fitted scleral lenses surprisingly comfortable for many patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is still an adjustment period. Inserting and removing the lenses can take some practice, and patients may gradually increase their wearing time according to their eye doctor&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Scleral Lenses Custom Made?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Scleral lenses require a specialized fitting process because the lens needs to work with the unique shape of the patient&#8217;s eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The process typically begins with an evaluation of your eye health and measurements of the eye&#8217;s surface. Diagnostic lenses may then be used to help determine the appropriate specifications. Adjustments can be made to achieve the desired fit, comfort and vision before the final lens is prescribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one reason a scleral lens fitting is different from simply choosing a standard contact lens prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Put Scleral Lenses In?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before insertion, the bowl of a scleral lens is filled with a preservative-free sterile solution. The patient generally looks downward with the face parallel to the floor while bringing the filled lens toward the eye. This helps keep the solution inside the lens and reduces the likelihood of trapping an air bubble underneath it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people use their fingers to insert and remove scleral lenses, while others use special applicators. Your eye care provider can teach you the technique and give you an opportunity to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can feel unfamiliar initially, but handling the lenses generally becomes easier with experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Clean Scleral Lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proper cleaning and disinfection are essential for safe contact lens wear. Scleral lenses should be cleaned and disinfected using the products and process recommended by your eye care provider. Fresh solution should be used rather than topping off or reusing old solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly important rule is to <strong>keep contact lenses away from tap water<\/strong>. Water can contain microorganisms capable of causing serious eye infections. Don&#8217;t rinse or store scleral lenses in tap water, and use the appropriate sterile, preservative-free solution when filling them for application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Can You Wear Scleral Lenses Each Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There isn&#8217;t one wearing schedule that&#8217;s right for every patient. Some people begin with only a few hours and gradually increase their wearing time. Others may eventually be able to comfortably wear their lenses for 10 hours or longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some scleral lens wearers also need to remove, clean and refill their lenses during the day. Your eye doctor can recommend a wearing schedule based on your eyes, lenses and reason for wearing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Long Do Scleral Lenses Last?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scleral lenses typically last longer than disposable soft contact lenses. Cleveland Clinic notes that they commonly last <strong>one to two years<\/strong>, although the actual lifespan depends on the lens, its condition and the patient&#8217;s individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regular eye examinations remain important even when your lenses seem to be working well. Your eyes and vision can change, and your doctor should periodically evaluate both your eye health and lens fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Sleep in Scleral Lenses?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patients should follow the wearing schedule provided by their eye doctor and should not assume that scleral lenses are safe for overnight wear. Contact lens wear and care instructions are important for reducing the risk of complications and infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you accidentally fall asleep in your lenses or aren&#8217;t sure when you should remove them, talk with your eye care provider about the instructions for your specific lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Call My Eye Doctor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A properly fitted scleral lens shouldn&#8217;t cause ongoing pain. Remove your lenses and contact your eye care provider if you develop significant redness, pain, unusual tearing, sensitivity to light, discharge or changes in your vision. These can be signs that your eyes need prompt evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should also let your eye doctor know if your lenses suddenly fit differently, become difficult to remove or no longer provide the vision or comfort you normally experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are Scleral Lenses Right for You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the right patient, scleral lenses can offer an option when traditional glasses or contact lenses haven&#8217;t provided the vision or comfort they need. But because these lenses are individually fitted, determining whether you&#8217;re a good candidate begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your eyes and vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At <strong>Atkinson Eye Care<\/strong>, our team can evaluate your eye health, discuss the challenges you&#8217;re experiencing with your current vision correction and help determine whether specialty contact lenses may be appropriate for your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re experiencing dry eye, have an irregular cornea or simply haven&#8217;t found success with traditional contact lenses, s<a href=\"https:\/\/atkinsoneyecare.com\/?page_id=39\">chedule an appointment with Atkinson Eye Care in Algonquin<\/a> to learn more about your options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Could scleral lenses provide clearer, more comfortable vision when traditional contact lenses aren\u2019t working for you?
