If glasses or regular contacts no longer give you clear, comfortable vision, scleral lenses may be the right next step. These custom lenses rest on the white part of the eye and create a fluid cushion over the cornea, helping improve vision, comfort, and stability throughout the day.

Michigan Contact Lens offers scleral contact lenses for patients with dry eye, keratoconus, irregular corneas, and other hard-to-fit vision needs. Every lens is customized to improve comfort, fit, and visual clarity for your eyes. A precise fit can make the difference between ongoing frustration and clear, comfortable wear.

Why Choose Michigan Contact Lens for Scleral Lenses

A successful scleral lens fit starts with the right expertise. Michigan Contact Lens combines advanced measurements, specialty fitting experience, and follow-up care to help patients with complex corneal conditions and contact lens intolerance.

We use advanced corneal mapping to design lenses around your exact eye shape. The result is a more precise fit, better day-to-day comfort, and more reliable vision, especially for patients who have not done well with other lenses.

We often fit scleral lenses for keratoconus, scleral lenses for dry eye, and scleral lenses for astigmatism, as well as for post-surgical corneas, corneal scarring, and contact lens intolerance. Every fitting is tailored to your condition, symptoms, and long-term comfort.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable lenses that rest on the sclera and vault over the cornea. This design creates a fluid reservoir that helps protect the eye surface, reduce dryness, and improve vision quality. That is why scleral contact lenses are often recommended for patients who cannot get good results with glasses or soft contacts.

Who Can Benefit From Scleral Lenses?

The best use cases for scleral lenses include patients with irregular corneas, severe dryness, and vision problems that standard contacts cannot correct comfortably. They are often a great option for patients with:

• Scleral lenses for keratoconus
• Scleral lenses for dry eye
• Scleral lenses for astigmatism
• Irregular corneas and corneal scarring
• Post-LASIK or post-surgical corneal changes
• Ocular surface disease
• Standard contact lens discomfort
• High or complex prescriptions

If your current lenses feel unstable, dry, or uncomfortable, custom scleral lenses may offer a better long-term solution.

Our Custom Scleral Lenses Fitting Process

Our custom scleral lenses process is focused on one goal: creating the most accurate, comfortable fit for your eyes. 

Your fitting begins with a detailed consultation, eye health evaluation, and corneal mapping. We use these measurements to select or design lenses based on your prescription, symptoms, and eye shape.

We then assess vision, fit, and comfort with trial lenses and refine the design as needed. Because scleral lenses are highly customized, more than one visit may be needed to get the best result. We also teach you how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses with confidence at home.

Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

The biggest advantages of scleral contact lenses are clearer, more stable vision, better comfort, and a secure fit for hard-to-fit eyes. They help improve vision by masking corneal irregularities and staying centered more consistently than many standard lenses. Because they rest on the sclera and hold a fluid cushion over the eye, they can also improve comfort for patients with dryness or sensitivity. For many people, this is the first lens option that feels both clear and wearable.

What to Expect With Scleral Lenses

Like any specialty lens, there are some disadvantages of scleral contact lenses to consider. They usually require a more detailed fitting process, more follow-up care, and a higher upfront cost than standard contacts. Most patients also need a little time to learn insertion and removal, but with proper guidance, the routine becomes much easier.

Scleral Lenses Cost and Value

The cost of scleral lenses varies based on your prescription, the complexity of the fitting, and the follow-up care required. The real value comes from expert evaluation, custom design, and a lens that is made to work properly for your eyes. Because these lenses are custom-fit, pricing reflects the time, technology, and follow-up care needed to get the best result.
