Alternative
Scleral Contact Lenses
for Dry Eyes
Large-diameter rigid lenses that vault over the entire cornea and rest on the sclera, maintaining a fluid reservoir over the ocular surface throughout the day.
How it works
The fluid-filled space between lens and cornea provides continuous lubrication, bypassing the tear film entirely and preventing desiccation. Considered for severe refractory dry eye.
What to watch for
Requires fitting by a specialist optometrist. Expensive and time-consuming to insert and remove. Considered a specialty option for severe dry eye unresponsive to standard treatment.
