What are scleral lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of your eye). They trap a layer of fluid against the eye.
How do they help with dryness?
The fluid reservoir protects the cornea and keeps the eye continuously hydrated throughout the day.
Who is a good candidate?
Patients with severe dry eye, Sjögren’s syndrome, graft-vs-host disease, or post-surgical dryness may benefit most.
