4 Benefits of Scleral Contact Lenses

  • Cost-effective

    Because they're custom fit, the cost of scleral lenses is usually higher than standard contact lenses. However, because sclerals last up to 2 years, they're more cost-effective in the long term.

  • Eye protection

    Sclerals are larger than other types of contacts, which allows for better protection from debris, dust and allergens that may irritate or injure your eye.

  • Extra-stable vision

    Their extra-large diameter keeps the scleral lenses centered and steady on your eye. If you play sports or have an active lifestyle, their size, shape and customized fit will prevent them from popping out of your eye.

  • Superior hydration

    Scleral lenses form a pocket that fills with artificial tears as they vault over your cornea. This lubricating cushion provides an extremely comfortable wearing experience for all-day hydration.

With scleral lenses, you'll experience vision comfort and excellent optics like never before!


Scleral Lenses FAQs

Do scleral lenses help with dry eyes?

Scleral lenses can provide immense relief to dry eye patients.

These custom-designed lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the scleral while avoiding the irritated cornea. The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a continuous moist environment that protects the cornea and provides relief for those with dry, itchy and burning eyes.

Are scleral lenses more comfortable than standard contact lenses?

Scleral lenses are custom-fit to your exact corneal measurements. This, along with the lenses’ extra-large size, makes the lenses both extra-comfortable and extra-stable on the eye.

Does insurance cover scleral lenses?

This will largely depend on the type of insurance you have. Not all insurances are the same. Some plans will cover the exam and the lens fitting, but will not cover the lenses themselves. Others will agree to pay part or all of the cost, but usually, after other treatment options have been exhausted.

Quick and easy online booking where you can add your insurance info after booking the appointment (o... r you can call them). Every staff member was friendly and kind. My 6 yr old's appointment was booked with Dr. Thomas Vielma. He was kind and very thorough. He made my daughter laugh quite a few times and held a conversation with her while he examined her eyes. She felt comfortable the whole time, even though her eyes are very sensitive to light. Dr. Vielma distracted her by talking her through the bright-lighted moments! We have EyeMed vision insurance, which they accept. It was a $10 copay for the eye exam and $39 for dilation of the eyes. While we waited for her eyes to dilate, she picked out her frames (just in case she needed glasses). They have cute kid frames to choose from. She chose a hello kitty pair and a light pink pair! I couldn't afford the transition lenses (insurance wasn't much help for that cost), but we did add on the anti glare and blue light filter. Glasses should arrive in 2 weeks! It was smooth and easy process for my daughter! Thank you to the excellent Optometrist, Dr. Vielma, and his staff for the great experience.

They were able to see me the same day I called. My eyes were irritated and painful. Doctor Christoph... er Prough examined them and assured me there was nothing in my eye. He prescribed steroid eye drops and I noticed a relief that same day. I am very pleased with Doctor Prough and the staff at eyetx vision center. This will be my Doctor from now on.

I normally would not give out 5 stars but I (we) figured Dr. Prough and his staff deserve it! We are... from our of state (WI) and knew my husband was having vision issues. After calling around town we set up an appointment online with EyeTX Vision Center in Pleasanton TX with ease! We were treated with so much care from the moment we walked in. After multiple tests we were truly informed on diabetic issues with vision! Thank you again Dr. Prough! Then comes the undecicveness of frames! We can't say enough about this facility and the staff! We were blessed to stumble on this vision center!!! Robert & Ruby
