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.

Dr Opferman discovered a potentially serious problem with my eye. I’m glad I went to see him for w... hat I thought was a minor aging issue and maybe some glasses! I am now seeing a specialist at the University of Chicago. Will definitely return for those glasses when I get this sorted out. Thank you

I’ve been a loyal patient of Dr. Casey Hogan for over 25 years, and I’ve been a client at Advanc... e Eyecare Professionals since the very day it opened. Simply put, this practice is top-notch, and I wouldn’t trust my eye care to anyone else. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the friendly, welcoming staff who always make you feel like part of the family. They are efficient and thorough in explaining your insurance coverage and any charges upfront, so there are never any surprises. The entire office operates with professionalism and respect for your time, making each visit smooth and seamless. Dr. Hogan is the heart of this practice. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely cares about her patients. She takes the time to explain every aspect of your eye health in a way that’s easy to understand, answering all questions with patience and clarity. Her warmth and attention to detail make it clear that she’s deeply committed to providing the best care possible. I can’t imagine anyone leaving her office without feeling fully informed and well-cared for. To me, Dr. Hogan exemplifies what an excellent doctor should be—skilled, compassionate, and dedicated to her patients' well-being. It’s rare to find a healthcare provider who combines such expertise with a personal touch, and I’m grateful to have found Dr. Hogan and Advance Eyecare Professionals all those years ago. Honestly, the only person who could possibly have an issue with Dr. Hogan is someone who can’t see the incredible care she provides!

Great to deal with, easy to schedule appointments, and they always take care of everything with insu... rance. Dr. Polanek is awesome. After several failed eyeglass prescriptions over the years, she properly fitted me with RGP lenses and it has been life changing.

Highly recommend Dr. Tiffany Polanek and the whole staff at Advanced Eye Care. The whole process of ... making an appointment to the communication, to the actual appointment itself is a well oiled machine.

This place is fantastic. I loved everyone I saw that day. I just wish they had Saturday hours. I... 'm a school teacher with an evening job as well. The lack of Saturday hours made picking up my item difficult. I had to take time off work to go pick up my glasses. That was the only issue. My original appointment was during spring break but the pick up time was a few weeks later.
- May. 09, 2024
Advanced Eye Care is a great place. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Dr. Hogan is kind and very profess... ional. Her staff is great. They called me when an earlier appointment opened up just like they said they would. I would highly recommend!
