What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault completely over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, called the sclera. They are one of the most versatile and comfortable specialty lens options available today. Who Benefits from Scleral Lenses Scleral lenses help patients with a wide range of conditions that make standard contacts difficult or impossible to wear.

What Is Keratoconus?

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition in which the cornea gradually thins and bulges into a cone-like shape, distorting vision in ways that glasses and standard contacts cannot fully correct. Understanding Keratoconus Keratoconus typically begins during the teenage years or early twenties and may progress over time.

What Are Gas Permeable Lenses?

Gas permeable (GP) lenses are rigid contact lenses made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials that provide exceptionally crisp vision and long-term corneal health. Why Choose Gas Permeable Lenses GP lenses maintain their shape on the eye rather than draping over it like soft lenses, which allows them to correct vision more precisely.

What Are Hybrid Lenses?

Hybrid lenses combine a rigid gas permeable center for sharp optics with a soft lens skirt for comfort, offering the best qualities of both lens types in a single design.

What Are Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses?

Hard-to-fit contact lenses are specialty lenses designed for patients whose eye shape, corneal condition, or medical history prevents them from wearing standard contacts successfully. What Makes Eyes Hard to Fit Many factors can make a patient's eyes challenging to fit with contacts.
