4 Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses
-
Cost-effective
Because they're custom fit, the cost of scleral lenses is usually higher than standard contact lenses. However, because sclerals last up to 2 years, they're more cost-effective in the long term.
-
Eye protection
Sclerals are larger than other types of contacts, which allows for better protection from debris, dust and allergens that may irritate or injure your eye.
-
Extra-stable vision
Their extra-large diameter keeps the scleral lenses centered and steady on your eye. If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, their size, shape and customized fit will prevent them from popping out of your eye.
-
Superior hydration
Scleral lenses form a pocket that fills with artificial tears as they vault over your cornea. This lubricating cushion provides an extremely comfortable wearing experience for all-day hydration.
With scleral lenses, you'll experience vision comfort and excellent optics like never before!
Scleral Lenses FAQs
Scleral lenses can provide immense relief to dry eye patients.
These custom-designed lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the scleral while avoiding the irritated cornea. The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a continuous moist environment that protects the cornea and provides relief for those with dry, itchy and burning eyes.
Scleral lenses are custom-fit to your exact corneal measurements. This, along with the lenses' extra-large size, makes the lenses both extra-comfortable and extra-stable on the eye.
This will largely depend on the type of insurance you have. Not all insurances are the same. Some plans will cover the exam and the lens fitting, but will not cover the lenses themselves. Others will agree to pay part or all of the cost, but usually, after other treatment options have been exhausted.

EyeTX – Dr. Christopher Prough
I made three appointments about a week in advance for myself and my ... Show Moretwo children, and I was pleasantly surprised that we were able to get in ahead of our scheduled appointment time.
Before the appointment, I received three separate letters in the mail, one addressed to each of us, all containing the same information about potential out-of-pocket costs if insurance coverage was not applicable. I called the office to clarify, and during that conversation, we confirmed that one of my children was under five. The doctor we were initially scheduled with did not see children under five, so the office rescheduled all three of us for later that day with another doctor.
Dr. Prough was very good with both of my children. He was patient and willing to work around my one-and-a-half-year-old's reluctance to participate or focus on him. I felt that the necessary checks were completed without making the appointment unnecessarily difficult.
Even the eye dilation went surprisingly well with my youngest. She did not have a crying reaction to the drops. I appreciated that the appointment itself had not left her overly irritated or upset beforehand, which I believe helped make the experience easier for her.
Overall, we had a fairly painless experience, and I appreciated Dr. Prough's patience and flexibility when working with young children.
