Discover how scleral lenses provide comfort and clarity for complex eye conditions, plus key steps in their precise fitting process UNLOCKING CLEARVISION WITHSCLERAL CONTACTLENSES WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SC LERAL LENSES? Scleral lenses are often prescribed for individuals who cannot achieve satisfactory vision correction or comfort with traditional contact lenses or glasses. Here are some of the common conditions that can benefit from scleral lenses: Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea thins and takes on a conical shape, leading to distorted vision. Scleral lenses can vault over the irregular cornea, providing clear and stable vision. OPTHA TALK S cleral contact lenses, designed for individuals with irregular corneas or eye conditions, are larger than traditional lenses and rest on the sclera. WHAT ARE SCLERAL CONTACT LENSES? Scleral contact lenses differ from soft or RGP lenses in both size and fit, resting on the sclera rather than the cornea. This creates a tear-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, offering enhanced comfort and vision, especially for those with corneal irregularities, dry eye, keratoconus, or post-corneal transplant issues. With diameters ranging from 14 to 20 millimetres, scleral lenses provide a stable fit by vaulting over the cornea, creating a smooth optical surface. The fluid reservoir helps to lubricate the eye, relieving dryness and maintaining moisture throughout the day. 52 VISION PLUS INDIA EDITION
