The right lens follows a sequence of measurements
Choosing a lens name or diameter alone is not enough. The process begins with eye and corneal assessment, followed by trial fitting and evaluation of clearance, edge alignment, movement, comfort and vision before the final design is ordered.
When may scleral lenses help?
They may help in keratoconus, post-surgical or post-graft irregularity, corneal scarring and selected ocular-surface conditions. Suitability depends on individual assessment, not diagnosis alone.
What determines comfort and success?
Appropriate design, ocular-surface health, handling technique, correct solutions and regular follow-up all matter. Pain, persistent redness or sudden visual reduction requires lens removal and prompt assessment.
Daily care
Use only solutions recommended for the lens type, and never expose lenses or cases to tap water. Scleral lenses commonly require sterile, preservative-free saline for filling before insertion.
