If you’ve been told you can’t wear contact lenses because they’re uncomfortable or don’t fit right, there’s good news: you still have options. Scleral contact lenses are helping people all over Commerce see clearly again, even after years of battling dry eye, keratoconus, or other complex vision problems.
At Commerce Family Eyecare, we take the time to understand your eyes and what’s been standing in the way of your comfort.
Scleral contact lenses are larger, dome-shaped lenses that rest on the white part of your eye (the sclera) instead of the cornea. They vault over the corneal surface, creating a protective pocket of sterile saline between the lens and your eye. This liquid cushion keeps the eye hydrated throughout the day and provides clear, stable vision, even when your cornea is irregularly shaped.
Because of their unique design, scleral lenses are ideal for patients with conditions such as keratoconus, severe dry eye, or other corneal irregularities that make traditional contact lenses uncomfortable or ineffective.
Many people across Commerce assume they can’t wear contact lenses because of dryness, discomfort, or irregular vision. But scleral contact lenses can change that.
These lenses are custom-fitted to your eye’s unique shape, providing clear and consistent vision for conditions that standard contacts can’t correct.
Getting scleral lenses at Commerce Family Eyecareis simple and patient-focused:
With proper care, most scleral lenses last one to two years and can be worn comfortably throughout the day.
