SCLERAL CONTACT LENSES FOR DRY EYE

Scleral contact lenses are large diameter rigid lenses which can serve two purposes.   First, they have the potential to significantly improve vision -especially with diseased or post-surgical corneas.   Second, they can help people with severe dry eye by holding a reservoir of tears against the eye.  These contact lenses are highly specialized and require the skills of a talented doctor to achieve a successful fit.
