What to Expect During a Scleral Lens Fitting
A scleral lens fitting is more detailed than a traditional contact lens appointment.
Because these lenses are highly customized, careful measurements are required to achieve the best possible fit.
Step 1: Detailed Eye Measurements
The first step typically involves measuring the shape of the cornea using specialized imaging technology.
This helps determine the appropriate lens design.
Step 2: Diagnostic Lens Fitting
Trial lenses may be placed on the eye to evaluate how the lens fits and how well it improves vision.
Step 3: Custom Lens Design
Based on these measurements, custom lenses are manufactured specifically for the patient’s eyes.
Step 4: Follow-Up Visits
Several follow-up visits may be needed to fine-tune the fit and ensure the lenses are comfortable and performing well.
Although the process may take several visits, the result is a highly customized lens designed to provide clear and comfortable vision.
