What are scleral contact lenses

These are highly customized large diameter contact lenses used to fit a wide range of complicated corneal conditions.  Fitting requires a skilled and an experienced Optometrist in the field of rigid gas permeable contact lens fitting and Dr. Morellato has fit countless patients since he started in 2000. 

Scleral lenses are used to solve many corneal issues such as:

• Keratoconus
• Corneal transplants and Radial Keratotomy
• high and irregular astigmatism (when soft lenses do not provide desired results)
• Corneas damaged by trauma
• As a dry eye therapy
• For many other corneal dystrophies to preserve corneal health
