Scleral Lenses in Annapolis, MD
Stable vision. Real comfort. Built for eyes that “normal contacts” can’t handle.
Scleral lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye, creating a fluid reservoir that can dramatically improve comfort and clarity for the right candidates.

If you’ve tried contacts and “failed,” this is usually why
Scleral lenses are often a fit when you have:
-
Keratoconus / ectasia / irregular corneas
-
Post-LASIK / post-RK irregularity
-
Corneal scarring or distorted vision
-
Severe dry eye or lens intolerance
-
Vision that shifts throughout the day (especially with soft lenses)
If your vision is technically “20/20” but functionally not usable, sclerals are worth evaluating.
What makes scleral lenses different
A scleral lens:
-
Rests on the sclera, not the cornea
-
Vaults over the cornea so it doesn’t rub the sensitive surface
-
Holds a tear-filled reservoir between the lens and your cornea
That design is why many patients report more stable vision and better comfort than standard contacts.
What we evaluate for
Your evaluation looks at what’s actually driving the problem:
-
Corneal shape/irregularity
-
Tear film stability and lid health
-
Prior contact lens history
-
Visual goals (driving, screens, work demands)
We’re not chasing “a lens.” We’re solving the reason your eyes aren’t functioning day-to-day.
The scleral fitting process (what to expect)
Scleral lenses are custom-made. Expect a process, not a one-and-done.
Cost, insurance, and expectations
Scleral lenses are specialty medical devices and require professional fitting time.
-
Coverage varies by plan and diagnosis.
-
Some cases are considered medically necessary; others are elective.
-
We’ll review your benefits and expected costs during your evaluation.
Bottom line: if you’ve been stuck cycling through failed solutions, this is the “do it right” route.
Frequently asked questions
Do scleral lenses help keratoconus?
They’re commonly used for keratoconus and other irregular corneas because they create a smooth optical surface.
Can sclerals help severe dry eye?
In some cases, the fluid reservoir can improve comfort. Your evaluation determines whether you’re a candidate.
How long does it take to get used to them?
Most patients improve quickly once the insertion/removal routine clicks. Training is part of the process.
How many visits will I need?
Expect multiple visits: evaluation, fitting, dispense/training, and follow-ups to fine-tune.
Can I request an appointment online?
Yes. Request online, and our team will confirm your time with a call during business hours.
