Scleral Vault Technology in Cumming

/in , /by

Standard contact lenses often fail patients with irregular eye shapes or severe dryness. Scleral lenses provide a solution by resting on the sclera, the white part of the eye, while arching over the sensitive cornea. This creates a liquid reservoir that ensures constant hydration and superior visual clarity.

Individuals with Keratoconus, a condition in which the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, often struggle with traditional vision correction. The Hydrogel Scleral Interface serves as both a protective shield and a corrective surface. Because the lens does not touch the corneal tissue, it offers a level of comfort that was previously impossible for complex cases. Our expertise in fitting these advanced optics helps patients reclaim their visual independence for daily life.

After years of blurry vision, the patient was brought to tears when she could finally see the leaves on the trees through her new scleral lenses.

Achieving Stability for Irregular Corneal Topographies

Every eye has a unique shape that requires a specific geometric match. We use digital mapping to measure the elevation of your eye and design a lens that vaults perfectly over the center. This technology is also life-changing for those with extreme dry eye who cannot tolerate air touching their eyes. Our collaboration with leading labs ensures that your custom lenses provide the sharpest possible vision.

Common Questions About Scleral Lenses

  • Are these lenses difficult to put in and take out? There is a small learning curve, but our staff will sit with you until you are an expert. We provide special tools and techniques to make the process simple and stress-free.
  • Can I wear these lenses all day long? Most people find that they can wear them from morning until night because the fluid reservoir keeps the eye moist. They are much more comfortable than traditional hard lenses for long-term wear.
