How Custom Scleral Lenses Can Transform Your Eye Health

If you’ve been struggling with dry eyes, keratoconus, or other vision challenges, you know how frustrating it can be to find a solution that truly works. Glasses may not provide the clarity you need, and traditional contact lenses can often be uncomfortable. But here in Lantern Lane, Houston, there’s a better option—custom scleral lenses from Pupila Family Eye & Ear Care.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Unlike standard contact lenses, which rest on the cornea, scleral lenses are designed to vault over the cornea and sit on the sclera (the white part of your eye). This creates a liquid-filled cushion between the lens and your eye, providing exceptional comfort and sharper vision. If you’ve been told in the past that you’re not a good candidate for contacts, these lenses may change the game for you.

Who Can Benefit from Custom Scleral Lenses?

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do at Pupila Family Eye & Ear Care is seeing how these lenses change lives. We've helped neighbors in Lantern Lane who thought they’d have to settle for blurry vision or constant discomfort. Scleral lenses are especially beneficial for:

•          Keratoconus patients – If your cornea has become irregularly shaped, standard lenses may not fit properly, but scleral lenses provide a smooth optical surface for clear vision.

•          Severe dry eye sufferers – The fluid layer beneath these lenses keeps your eyes hydrated throughout the day.

•          Post-surgical patients – Whether you've had LASIK or a corneal transplant, scleral lenses can offer improved clarity and comfort.

•          Hard-to-fit eyes – If you've struggled with traditional contacts due to discomfort or poor fit, scleral lenses are designed specifically for your unique eye shape.

The Difference Customization Makes

Unlike over-the-counter or mass-produced contacts, custom scleral lenses are tailored to your exact eye shape. Using advanced imaging technology, we map your eyes to ensure a perfect fit. This not only maximizes comfort but also helps optimize your vision correction.

Many of our patients have tried other treatments without success and are amazed at the difference a truly personalized approach can make. Scleral lenses are durable and can last much longer than traditional soft contacts, making them a solid investment in your eye health.
