Scleral Contact Lenses

Have you been diagnosed with keratoconus, severe dry eye, or other corneal conditions? Scleral contact lenses could be the solution for you!

Scleral Contact Lenses: A Life-Changing Solution for Keratoconus & More

If you’ve struggled with blurry vision, discomfort with regular contact lenses, or have been diagnosed with keratoconus, severe dry eye, or other corneal conditions, scleral contact lenses could be the game-changer you’ve been searching for. Unlike standard lenses, these custom-fit specialty contact lenses provide exceptional comfort and clarity—especially for those who have trouble wearing traditional soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses.

At Foothills Vision Center, we specialize in scleral contact lens fittings helping patients achieve clear, stable vision—even when glasses or regular contacts don’t work.

What Makes Scleral Lenses Different?

Provides Superior Comfort – The lens doesn’t touch the sensitive cornea, reducing irritation.
Enhances Visual Clarity – The fluid layer corrects irregular corneal shapes for sharper vision.
Helps Severe Dry Eye – The lens retains moisture, relieving dryness and discomfort.
Stable & Secure Fit – Scleral lenses stay in place, reducing issues like lenses shifting or falling out.

This makes them ideal for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye syndrome, and other corneal irregularities.

Understanding Keratoconus: A Common Reason for Scleral Lenses

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape leading to distorted vision. While glasses or soft contact lenses may work in the early stages, many patients eventually require specialty contact lenses to maintain clear vision.

Common Symptoms of Keratoconus:

Blurry or distorted vision
Sensitivity to light and glare
Frequent prescription changes
Difficulty wearing standard contact lenses

How Is Keratoconus Diagnosed?

A comprehensive eye exam is the first step in diagnosing keratoconus. Our advanced corneal mapping technology allows us to assess the shape of your cornea and determine the best treatment options.

Specialty Contact Lens Fitting: A Custom Approach to Clearer Vision

At Foothills Vision Center, we take a personalized approach to fitting scleral contact lenses. Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, our specialty lenses are custom-designed for your eyes, ensuring the perfect balance of comfort and vision correction.

What to Expect During a Scleral Lens Fitting:

Corneal Imaging & Measurements – We use high-tech mapping to design your ideal lens shape.
Trial Lenses – We fit you with a test lens to assess comfort and clarity.
Customization & Ordering – Your lenses are tailored for optimal fit and performance
Training & Care Guidance – We teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your new lenses.

Most patients notice an immediate improvement in vision with scleral lenses, and many describe them as life-changing compared to traditional contacts.
