Scleral Lenses: The Best Solution for Severe Dry Eyes and Keratoconus

If you’ve been struggling with severe dry eyes or keratoconus, you know how frustrating it can be to find a solution that actually works. The constant discomfort, blurry vision, and inability to wear regular contact lenses can make daily life more difficult than it should be. At Darien Eye Care, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses, a game-changing option for those who have been told there’s nothing else that can help. But what exactly makes scleral lenses the best choice for people in Darien and the surrounding Fairfield County area?
 

Why Scleral Lenses Are Different from Regular Contacts

Unlike standard soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a fluid-filled reservoir that keeps the eye hydrated all day. This makes them an excellent option for:

• Severe dry eye sufferers – If you experience chronic irritation, burning, or redness, these lenses provide much-needed relief by preventing direct contact with the cornea and maintaining moisture.

• People with keratoconus – For those dealing with irregular corneal shape, scleral lenses offer crisp, stable vision that glasses and traditional contacts simply can’t provide.

• Post-surgical or irregular corneas – If you’ve had corneal transplants or LASIK complications, scleral lenses can help you regain comfort and clear vision.
   

Tailored for Your Needs at Darien Eye Care
