Scleral lenses are a type of specialty contact lens designed to vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, known as the sclera.

It’s important to note that while scleral lenses offer several advantages, they do require a more involved fitting process and specialized care compared to standard contact lenses. Our doctors here at Insight Vision Center Optometry are certified in fitting scleral lenses for even the most complicated corneas. Our team is ready to assist you with not only the fitting process of these lenses, but also with the required training needed to learn how to apply and remove the lenses.
