SCLERAL Lenses
SCLERAL LENSES and Specialty Contact lenses
Wilmington Family Eye Care specializes in both scleral lenses and specialty contact lenses for those with corneal eye disease.
Scleral lenses are an excellent option for patients who have been intolerant to or unable to wear standard soft contact lenses or have a history of corneal eye disease.
Scleral lenses are a large-diameter gas-permeable lens that rests on the white part of the eye, called the sclera. These lenses are a type of specialty lens that are customized for your eyes.
Scleral lenses have proven to be an excellent option for those who have failed with glasses or contact lenses in the past.
