4 Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

  • Cost-effective

    Because they're custom fit, the cost of scleral lenses is usually higher than standard contact lenses. However, because sclerals last up to 2 years, they're more cost-effective in the long term.

  • Eye protection

    Sclerals are larger than other types of contacts, which allows for better protection from debris, dust and allergens that may irritate or injure your eye.

  • Extra-stable vision

    Their extra-large diameter keeps the scleral lenses centered and steady on your eye. If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, their size, shape and customized fit will prevent them from popping out of your eye.

  • Superior hydration

    Scleral lenses form a pocket that fills with artificial tears as they vault over your cornea. This lubricating cushion provides an extremely comfortable wearing experience for all-day hydration.

With scleral lenses, you'll experience vision comfort and excellent optics like never before!


Scleral Lenses FAQs

Do scleral lenses help with dry eyes?

Scleral lenses can provide immense relief to dry eye patients.

These custom-designed lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the scleral while avoiding the irritated cornea. The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a continuous moist environment that protects the cornea and provides relief for those with dry, itchy and burning eyes.

Are scleral lenses more comfortable than standard contact lenses?

Scleral lenses are custom-fit to your exact corneal measurements. This, along with the lenses’ extra-large size, makes the lenses both extra-comfortable and extra-stable on the eye.

Does insurance cover scleral lenses?

This will largely depend on the type of insurance you have. Not all insurances are the same. Some plans will cover the exam and the lens fitting, but will not cover the lenses themselves. Others will agree to pay part or all of the cost, but usually, after other treatment options have been exhausted.

Have been going here for a year and a half now, since 2023. First, the location and interior design ... is fantastic. It’s very spacious and encourages you to linger, and to really enjoy and try out the frames on display. Does not feel like a warehouse like some places do—no, this is much closer to a boutique. When my eyes aren’t dilated, I read some of the fashion magazines they have out… I see Dr. Stidham—no complaints, he’s a pleasant and friendly man. I don’t really have ocular health issues of concern so I can’t speak of what receiving more specialised/intensive care here is like, but I would suspect it’s fine. Joe is one of the assistants and very nice to speak with, too. Angela, Brian, and Rina (front-of-house) are darlings! I always chat up a storm with them and they have great senses of fashion; gotta say, Angela has killer fashion, and Brian knows EXACTLY what I want. Even when I don’t know what I want! Rina was quite kind to my fiancée and made her feel very welcome when she was running late due to a stuck train blocking her commute, and has a sense of humour. It’s quite fun chatting up the other customers here, too, very much salon vibes. Oh! And they throw a Tiny Gallery to support local artists. Really a gem of a place at Riverplace!

My exam with Dr. Stidham was the most thorough vision exam I have ever had. I had the wellness photo... s done and much to my surprise, a condition was discovered that could down the line cause significant vision loss and will require additional attention from a retinal specialist. I usually have annual eye exams but would never have known about this issue because there are not obvious symptoms. So grateful for the experience, exam, information and understanding.

I recently had an exam here. The entire team was really kind and professional. The whole process was... quick and simple. The only issue I had wasn't even with them, I just had a little bit of trouble finding their establishment. I definitely recommend them.

Dr. Penshorn was thorough, informative and kind. She took the time to listen and made sure to do the... give me the best possible correction. The tech they have is impressive, running you through prescription options efficiently. The staff was helpful (we worked with Brianna) and made sure we got the most of our insurance coverage.
