At Utah Valley Vision Care, we offer optimal solutions for irregular corneas by fitting scleral contact lenses. Unlike traditional lenses, these lenses offer enhanced comfort and clarity for individuals with irregular corneal shapes.
Understanding Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your eyes, offering a more personalized approach than standard lenses. These lenses have a larger diameter, vaulting over the cornea and resting on the sclera — the white part of the eye. This design not only accommodates irregular corneas but also provides a stable and comfortable fit.
Ideal for Irregular Corneas
Irregular corneas pose a challenge for conventional lenses, often leading to discomfort and compromised vision. Scleral lenses, however, provide a smooth and comfortable surface, correcting vision issues caused by irregularly-shaped corneas.
Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP)
Scleral lenses are available in rigid gas-permeable materials, offering flexibility based on your preferences and comfort. Rigid gas-permeable options provide added stability and can be the preferred choice for some wearers.
Scleral Customization for Maximum Comfort
Every pair of scleral lenses is custom-made to ensure a perfect fit for your eyes. This customization extends to the wearing schedule, ranging from daily to extended wear. Additionally, colored scleral lenses are available for those looking to combine vision correction with a touch of style.
Investing in Your Visual Well-being with Sclerals
Given the personalized nature of scleral lenses, they may be priced slightly higher and require additional laboratory time for production. However, the investment pays off in enhanced comfort and improved vision for individuals with irregular corneas.
If you have irregular corneas or are seeking the utmost comfort in contact lenses, scleral lenses could be the solution you've been looking for.
