contact lenses due to their severe dry eye condition<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Standard contact lenses sit directly on the cornea and can therefore cause discomfort and irritation, and even increase the risk of corneal injury.<\/p>\n<p>Scleral lenses do not touch the cornea at all, and are designed to keep the eye hydrated throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to scleral lens insertion, fresh saline solution is applied to the \u201cbowl\u201d of the lens. The solution remains in the space between the lens and cornea to provide continuous hydration and dry eye relief.<\/p>\n<p>Some eye doctors recommend adding a gel eye drop or artificial tears solution to the \u201cbowl\u201d of the lens for further dry eye relief.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial tears and other lubricating eye drops prescribed by your doctor may also be used during scleral contact lens wear to further lubricate your eyes. However, many patients discover that they are able to reduce the frequency of these drops as they begin to wear their scleral lenses.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of the constant hydration provided by the scleral lens, patients with normally red, irritated dry eyes can obtain healthier looking eyes.<\/p>\n<p><b>Scleral lenses are a great option for patients with dry eye syndrome, providing dry eye relief, improved visual acuity, and improved quality of life.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><b>What are the benefits of scleral lenses?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>There are many benefits to wearing scleral lenses, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customized to your needs<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher oxygen permeability<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Durable and scratch resistant<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfortable, without any adaptation period<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide clear, sharp vision<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stable on the eye<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Correct vision for hard to fit ocular conditions<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Provide dry eye relief<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy care and handling<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>What are the disadvantages of scleral lenses?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In order to obtain accurate eye measurements and a precise optical prescription, a scleral lens exam involves the use of special imaging devices and automated instruments.
