Specialty Lenses for Dry Eye, Hard-to-Fit Eyes, & More

Many patients love the freedom and clear vision contact lenses can bring, but for patients who find standard lenses uncomfortable or difficult to wear, Family Vision Optical has solutions, including scleral lenses. Even better, our Dr. Nick Lillie is a scleral and specialty lens fitting specialist, and one of the few in the area to offer these lenses.

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.

The Benefits of Scleral Lenses

  • Vaults over the sensitive cornea, minimizing contact and reducing irritation.
  • Creates a tear reservoir, which helps maintain eye moisture and alleviates dry eye symptoms.
  • Particularly beneficial for individuals with front-of-eye conditions such as keratoconus.
  • Suitable for those who are unable to wear standard contact lenses, offering a comfortable alternative.
  • Not just an alternative option, but also acts as a treatment method for various eye conditions.
