Scleral lenses are large diameter rigid lenses that rest on the sclera and vault over the cornea. Scleral lenses were first designed in 1887, predating what we consider to be “normal” contact lenses.
Today scleral lenses provide the opportunity to effectively address the vision needs of some irregular cornea patients that previously could not be well served by contact lenses. Since a scleral lens does not touch the cornea and stands over it, this allows an effective vision correction to be placed in front of the eye. The tear pool present beneath the scleral lens is very effective in keeping the corneal moist and helps alleviate some of the symptoms of corneal surface disease and severe dry eye.
Here are the options for scleral lens fitting you will find here at Metro Optics.
InSight Scleral is a comprehensive scleral lens design that can be used on virtually anyone. It works equally well on normal corneas as it does on compromised corneas.
It provides a stable and comfortable fit, maximizing visual potential in cases where soft lenses and intra-corneal rigid lenses cannot.
InSight Scleral can also deliver multifocal correction up to 3 diopters of add power. This innovative feature allows both normal and compromised cornea patients to experience excellent distance and reading correction in a remarkably comfortable lens.
InSight Scleral features a unique design approach we like to call HHM Technology, which refers to the way this lens was developed.
HHM Technology stands for the collaboration of custom contact lens industry professionals and clinical practitioners in the development of optical devices that substantially improve the world of sight for those in need of visual compensation. HHM includes the expertise of over 80 years of work in the field of contact lenses and optics.
