What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are specialized contact lenses that rest on the white part of the eye, known as the sclera, rather than on the cornea. These lenses are particularly favored by individuals who have sensitive or irregular corneas, as they often offer enhanced comfort and improved visual clarity. At our practice, we are proud to have Dr. Nick Lillie, one of the few optometrists in the region who is skilled in fitting scleral lenses. His expertise ensures a precise fit, catering to those who have found traditional lenses uncomfortable or ineffective.
