About The Service:

At Miller Eye Care, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses, an advanced type of contact lens that offers exceptional comfort and vision correction for individuals with specific eye conditions. Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contact lenses and are designed to vault over the entire cornea, resting on the white part of the eye (the sclera). This unique design provides numerous benefits, especially for those with irregular corneas or severe dry eye.

Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses:

‍
Scleral lenses are ideal for individuals with:

Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea becomes thin and irregularly shaped, leading to distorted vision.
Irregular Corneas: Caused by conditions like corneal ectasia or following corneal surgery, where the cornea’s surface is not smooth.
Severe Dry Eye: Scleral lenses create a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, providing constant moisture and relief for those with dry eye.
Post-Surgical Eyes: People who have undergone corneal surgery, such as LASIK or corneal transplants, can benefit from the customized fit and comfort of scleral lenses.
Other Corneal Conditions: Scleral lenses can also be used to manage other corneal conditions that traditional contact lenses may not address effectively.

How Scleral Lenses Work:

Scleral lenses are custom-made to fit your eye’s unique shape. During the fitting process, we use advanced imaging technology to map your cornea and sclera, ensuring a precise and comfortable fit. The lenses vault over the cornea, creating a tear-filled space that not only corrects vision but also protects the cornea from external irritants.

Key Benefits of Scleral Lenses:

‍
Comfort: The fluid reservoir under the lens provides a cushioning effect, making scleral lenses extremely comfortable to wear, even for those with sensitive eyes.
Clear Vision: Scleral lenses provide sharp, stable vision, even for individuals with irregular corneas or high prescriptions.
Moisture Retention: For those with dry eye syndrome, scleral lenses keep the eye surface hydrated throughout the day, reducing discomfort and dryness.
Custom Fit: Each scleral lens is tailored to the individual’s eye, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal performance.
