Scleral Contact Lenses
Have you been told that the only option for your vision correction is a corneal surgery? Schedule an appointment with Dr. Beattie at Eyes on Bismarck to see if scleral contact lenses are an alternative option to improve your vision.
Scleral contact lenses provide visual correction for patients who do not achieve satisfactory vision with glasses or soft contact lenses. Patients with eye conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, radial keratotomy (RK), corneal thinning, and corneal scarring particularly benefit from correction with scleral lenses. Dr. Beattie has been fitting patients with scleral contact lenses in Bismarck since 2006. Scleral lenses are made of a rigid, gas-permeable material that allows the eyes to “breathe” through the lenses. They are large lenses that are custom-made to meet your visual needs.
Scleral contact lenses are beneficial for several reasons, including:
- Good comfort
- Stable vision
- Alternative to corneal surgery
