fitting scleral lenses
Scleral lens fitting is a highly customised process aimed at creating a lens that completely vaults the cornea, rests on the sclera, and maintains a stable fluid reservoir for clear vision and ocular surface protection.
We are provider of leading scleral lenses including Bausch & Lomb Zenlens and Gelflex RoseK2 XL.
Steps in scleral lens fitting:
1. Pre-fitting assessment and scanning
2. Selection of a diagnostic (trial) lens
3. Order and modify custom lenses as needed
How to insert scleral lenses:
1. Wash hands with soap and dry with a lint-free towel
2. Fill the lens bowl completely with preservative-free saline
3. Hold the lens - Balance lens on thumb, index, and middle finger
4. Lean forward, face parallel to the ground and look down into a mirror
5. Use your other hand to keep lids apart and bring lens straight onto the eye
6. Release slowly and blink - the lens should “stick” in place via fluid suction
How to remove scleral lenses:
1. Wash hands
2. Wet the plunger tip with saline
3. Look straight ahead
4. Pull lower eyelid down
5. Place plunger on the lower edge of the lens
6. Gently pull outward as the lens should release easily
What is the cost of Scleral lenses?
The price of scleral lenses can differ based on the complexity of the lens, the strength of the prescription, and the extent of follow-up care needed. The expected cost ranges from $1850 to $2750 for initial supply and fitting of a pair of Scleral lenses, including 12 months of aftercare consultations. Each lens has a lifespan of approximately 18 to 24 months before it needs to be replaced.
