Scleral Lenses FAQ's
Scleral lenses are a specialty medical device and may be covered under certain insurance plans when medically necessary.
1Are scleral lenses comfortable?
Yes. Most patients find scleral lenses more comfortable than soft lenses or traditional rigid gas-permeable lenses.
2Can scleral lenses treat dry eye?
They significantly improve comfort by creating a fluid reservoir that protects and hydrates the cornea.
3How long do scleral lenses last?
Typically 1–2 years, depending on wear, care, and lens material.
4Do scleral lenses fall out easily?
No. Their large size makes them extremely stable.
5Can I wear scleral lenses all day?
Yes. Most patients enjoy full-day wear with minimal dryness or irritation.
