Scleral Lenses
Custom-Fit Contact Lenses for Complex Vision Needs
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, known as the sclera. Because they do not rest directly on the cornea, they may be an option for patients with certain corneal conditions or contact lens challenges.
At Dussan Eye Care, scleral lenses are customized to the individual's eye shape and vision needs. The fitting process allows Dr. Dussan to evaluate the fit, vision, and comfort of the lenses and make adjustments as needed.

The Scleral Lens
Fitting Process
A Step-by-Step Approach to Specialty Lens Care
The process begins with an initial visit with Dr. Dussan to determine whether scleral lenses may be appropriate. If you are a candidate, trial lenses are applied to evaluate fit and vision. Once the appropriate lens design is determined, the lenses are prescribed and ordered.
A follow-up visit is scheduled once the lenses arrive to evaluate the fit and vision and provide guidance on lens use. Additional visits may be recommended if adjustments are needed.
