Scleral lenses are contact lenses that rest directly on the sclera (the white part of the eye), covering the cornea without touching it, unlike other types of contact lenses.

They are primarily recommended for keratoconus, corneal transplants, intracorneal rings, and dry eye, although they can be fitted for almost any eye.
The main advantages of these lenses are:

We work with many contact lens brands that manufacture a wide range of scleral lenses, and it is possible that any of them could work for your specific case.
Which one is the right choice? How do you select the best option?
It depends largely on:
A key aspect of any scleral lens fitting is understanding the advantages and limitations of the specific type of scleral lens selected. For example, some lenses may significantly improve vision but cause eye redness and/or fog up easily.
This is a summary of the types of scleral lenses that can be fitted.

Standard scleral lens
Advanced standard scleral lens
Specialized scleral lens for dry eye
Specialized "Elite" scleral lens
3D-scanned scleral lens

During the consultation, a comprehensive eye assessment is performed—including topography and tear quality evaluation—to provide a detailed explanation of what wearing the lenses will be like.
The lens fitting process incorporates scleral topography; this is the world's most advanced technology for fitting scleral lenses. It involves a complete scan of the eye's surface, enabling the analysis and fabrication of contact lenses with the highest possible precision.

The best way to evaluate issues with scleral lenses is to come in for a consultation. Some of the most frequent complications include red eyes, hazy vision, or blurred vision.
Scleral irregularities (Fleshy growths)
These are known as pingueculae—bumps on the conjunctiva (often colloquially referred to as "fleshy growths") that vary in size and shape. If they aren't accounted for during the scleral lens fitting process, they can cause red eyes, conjunctival prolapse, discomfort, and blurred vision. Depending on their size, problems can be avoided by selecting the appropriate lens design and/or features.
Hazy vision
Tears must keep the surface of any contact lens lubricated. With scleral lenses that lack surface treatments, it is common for the surface to dry out and cause hazy vision after a few hours of wear (depending on the individual case)—especially in dry climates or high-altitude locations like Mexico City.
Are you still experiencing blurred vision?
That shouldn't be happening; let's start by properly assessing your prescription.
