Scleral lenses are an excellent option for people with keratoconus, high astigmatism, or other corneal irregularities. If you’re considering scleral lenses, here are a few things you should know. Scleral lenses:
1. Can last 1-2 years with proper care
2. Can be worn 12-14 hours per day
3. Are larger in diameter than traditional contact lenses
4. Form a dome over the sclera, the white part of your eye
5. Contain a reservoir of moisture that keeps eyes hydrated
6. Provide better stability and vision than traditional contact lenses.
If you're interested in scleral lenses, talk to our eye doctor at Cornea and Contact Lens Institute of Minnesota to see if they’re right for you. s.patientengage.ai/vbjIk1

Are Eye Drops Enough?

Many patients tell us they have been using over-the-counter eye drops every day.

While these can help temporarily, they do not diagnose the underlying problem. Some redness relief drops may even worsen dryness with frequent use.

If your symptoms keep returning, it may be time for a comprehensive eye exam with Cornea and Contact Lens Institute of Minnesota.

Call us to schedule.

The difference matters because treatment depends on the cause. A comprehensive eye exam helps determine what is truly responsible for your symptoms and allows us to tailor a treatment plan.
