Scleral Contact Lenses

At Northlake Eye, our doctors are experts at fitting scleral contact lenses! These are specialty contact lenses that few doctors in the area fit.

​

To accurately fit scleral lenses, our doctors perform corneal topography to assess the curvature of the front of your eye. Next, they place a trial scleral lens on your eye and allow it to settle for 30 minutes. After this period, we evaluate the fit of the lenses and determine the necessary power for optimal vision.

​

Once the custom lenses arrive, you will return to the office for a follow-up appointment to assess your vision and how the lenses fit on your eyes. Occasionally, adjustments may be needed, but in most cases, you will be able to leave with your lenses on the same day as the follow-up.
