Scleral Lenses, Pembroke Pines, FL
If you’ve struggled with traditional contact lenses or suffer from eye conditions that make standard vision correction uncomfortable or ineffective, scleral lenses may be the solution. At The Eye Center, we offer scleral contact lenses in Pembroke Pines, Florida, to help you achieve crisp, stable vision and lasting comfort, especially if you have dry eye or corneal irregularities such as keratoconus.
Our experienced team uses advanced imaging and diagnostic tools to custom-fit scleral lenses, ensuring the perfect fit and maximum relief.
What are scleral lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter, gas permeable contact lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than the cornea (the clear outermost layer of the eye). Their unique design creates a fluid-filled space between the lens and the cornea, offering several key benefits:
- Improved vision for patients with irregular corneas, keratoconus, or post-surgical complications
- Enhanced comfort, even for sensitive or dry eyes
- Continuous hydration, ideal for managing chronic dry eye symptoms
- Protection of delicate corneal tissue, promoting overall eye health
Unlike standard contacts, scleral lenses are custom-designed for your eyes, offering a stable fit and lasting comfort throughout the day.
Scleral lenses for dry eye
Dry eye can cause discomfort, blurry vision, and sensitivity to light, often making it difficult to wear conventional contact lenses. Scleral lenses create a reservoir of fluid that keeps the eye surface continuously hydrated throughout the day. This built-in moisture system provides long-lasting relief by hydrating the eye’s surface, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
For patients with moderate to severe dry eye, our scleral lenses in Pembroke Pines, FL, can offer a significant improvement in comfort and quality of life.
Scleral lenses for keratoconus and irregular corneas
Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, resulting in distorted vision that glasses and soft contacts often can’t correct. Scleral lenses provide a smooth optical surface that dramatically improves vision, while also protecting the fragile corneal tissue.
Scleral lenses can also be effective for managing the following:
- Post-LASIK or RK complications
- Corneal scarring or grafts
- Pellucid marginal degeneration
- Severe astigmatism
At The Eye Center, we provide custom scleral lenses in Pembroke Pines for a range of conditions, using detailed scans and measurements to ensure a precise, comfortable fit.
