Scleral Lenses

Hundreds of patients who have been told that they cannot wear contact lenses due to a corneal condition have been successfully fitted with scleral lenses by optician and owner, Mike DiNapoli. Scleral lenses are specifically designed for therapeutic corneal conditions such as keratoconus, irregular corneas, corneal ectasia, and certain post-operative conditions.

Scleral contacts are large-diameter lenses that essentially replace the front surface of the cornea with a perfectly formed optical covering that corrects corneal irregularities. The special design of the scleral lens also treats severe dry eye, thus allowing for the wearer to comfortably tolerate the contact lens.
