Tired of dealing with dry, irritated eyes? Here are a few simple tips that can help:
👉 Use a Warm Compress: Gently applying a warm compress can provide relief.

Routine exams often uncover issues regular lenses can’t fix—like keratoconus, post-surgical corneal changes, or severe dry eye. Scleral lenses offer exceptional comfort and clarity for those with complex visual needs.
Ask if scleral lenses could work for you.
