Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for scleral lenses?
Scleral lenses are generally for patients who have visual disability from corneal irregularity secondary to keratoconus, trauma, or corneal transplant. Scleral lenses can also be used to manage patients with compromised corneas secondary to severe dry eye, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Sjogren’s syndrome, Graft Versus Host Disease, and neurotrophic keratitis.
What is involved in the fitting process?
The initial visit consists of a medical eye exam, computerized corneal maps, sMap3D corneo-scleral topography, photography, and scleral fitting. After measurement for the lens parameters, the lab can start production of the contact lens immediately. For those patients traveling, a final lens can be dispensed to the patient within 3 to 5 business days.
How are scleral lenses custom designed for my eye?
Dr. DeNaeyer uses a modern scleral lens design and fitting technique that streamlines the fitting process. sMap3D corneo-scleral topography is used to to fit custom scleral lenses to fit each individual eye.This process is a very efficient way to produce custom scleral lenses that are less costly.
Will my insurance cover scleral contact lenses?
