Get noticed in the crowd with specialeffect scleral contact lenses Scleral contact lenses Scleral contact lenses also known as sclera lenses; are large rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. They are completely different from the conventional lenses as they not only cover the cornea but also the sclera, the white part of the eye. Their size usually ranges from 14 to 20 mm in diameter. These lenses sit on the sclera and form a vault over the cornea. This vault of fluid keeps the moisture intact even if you wear them for longer duration. They modify the shape of cornea in order to provide clear vision. Scleral contact lenses are an effective option for correcting refractive errors and all the vision related problems to irregular corneas. Scleral contact lenses are more comfortable to wear in comparison with other smaller rigid gas permeable lenses. If someone is new to using scleral contact lenses, it might take some time to put them in the eyes and while removing them. The wearer will need some time to get used to them.
Some of the benefits of scleral contact lenses include:
More comfortable in comparison to other corneal lenses Offer a stable fit even while playing sports These lenses offer excellent vision Great for people having dry eyes as they form a chamber of moisture Easy to adapt than RGP contact lenses once they are correctly fit These lenses can be easily inserted and removed
