Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus & Corneal Ectasia

If you’ve been diagnosed with keratoconus or corneal ectasia, you know how frustrating and unpredictable vision can become. Glasses or traditional contact lenses often no longer provide the clarity or stability you need—and everyday activities like driving, reading, or working on a screen can feel challenging.

Scleral lenses are designed specifically for eyes like yours.

You may be a good candidate for scleral lenses if you:

• Have keratoconus or post-surgical ectasia
• Notice blurred, distorted, or “ghosted” vision
• Experience frequent changes in your prescription
• Struggle to achieve clear vision with glasses or soft contact lenses
• Have tried other lenses that felt uncomfortable or unstable

Unlike traditional lenses, scleral lenses vault over the irregular shape of the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). This creates a smooth optical surface, allowing light to focus properly and significantly improving visual clarity. Many patients notice sharper, more stable vision almost immediately.

In addition to improving vision, scleral lenses provide exceptional comfort. A thin layer of fluid sits between the lens and the eye, helping to cushion sensitive corneal tissue and reduce irritation—especially important for eyes affected by keratoconus or ectasia.

Each lens is fully customized to the unique shape of your eye. At our practice, we use advanced imaging and fitting technology to ensure the best possible fit, vision, and long-term eye health.

If you’ve been struggling to find clear, comfortable vision with keratoconus or ectasia, scleral lenses may be the solution. Schedule a consultation to learn how they can improve your day-to-day vision and quality of life.
