Understanding Dry Eye and Its Causes

Dry eye is a common condition where the eyes fail to produce enough tears or have an unstable tear film, leading to discomfort, blurred vision, and light sensitivity. Factors like aging, medication, and frequent screen use can exacerbate dry eye, impacting daily comfort and eye health.

Traditional contact lenses can worsen dry eye symptoms, making them difficult to wear. However, specialty lenses, such as scleral lenses, provide a solution. These lenses create a reservoir of moisture, offering consistent hydration and relief from common dry eye symptoms. Scleral lenses provide comfort and protection, making them an ideal option for individuals with chronic dry eye.

How Scleral Lenses Help Relieve Dry Eye

Scleral lenses are specialized, larger contact lenses designed to rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye, rather than directly on the cornea. This creates a tear-filled vault over the cornea, providing a continuous source of moisture. This unique design helps to keep the eye surface hydrated throughout the day, offering comfort and protection against the dryness that often comes with traditional contact lenses.

For individuals with moderate to severe dry eye, scleral lenses offer significant relief from symptoms like itching, burning, and blurred vision. Unlike regular contact lenses that may exacerbate dryness and irritation, scleral lenses provide a protective barrier that prevents direct contact with the sensitive cornea, improving moisture retention and reducing discomfort.

Kleinwood Vision specializes in fitting scleral lenses, taking care to ensure they match the unique shape and needs of each patient’s eyes. This custom fitting process ensures that patients experience optimal comfort and clear vision. Scleral lenses are ideal for individuals who struggle with traditional contact lenses due to dry eye conditions, offering a reliable solution for long-lasting comfort and eye health.

Benefits of Specialty Contacts

Specialty contact lenses, such as scleral lenses, offer unique benefits for individuals struggling with dry eyes. Unlike regular contact lenses, scleral lenses rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye and create a tear-filled reservoir over the cornea. This protective tear layer helps keep the eye hydrated, reducing symptoms of dryness, irritation, and discomfort.

At Kleinwood Vision, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness. Each lens is custom-fitted based on the unique shape of your eyes to guarantee a secure, comfortable fit.

This personalized approach helps improve moisture retention, offering clearer vision and lasting comfort. For those struggling with dry eyes, scleral lenses can be a life-changing solution, allowing patients to enjoy clearer, more comfortable vision without the discomfort caused by traditional contact lenses.

Scleral lenses offer more than just hydration; their stable design ensures minimal shifting on the eye, reducing the need for frequent adjustments and minimizing eye strain. This stability is particularly beneficial for patients with corneal irregularities or chronic dry eye, as it helps maintain consistent moisture and comfort throughout the day. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which can worsen dry eye symptoms, scleral lenses provide a protective barrier that keeps the cornea hydrated, alleviating the irritation and discomfort that many dry eye sufferers experience.

At Kleinwood Vision, we provide thorough dry eye assessments to identify the most suitable specialty lens options for each patient. By evaluating factors such as corneal shape, tear production, and eye health, we ensure that the chosen lenses offer the best possible fit and long-term relief. Our personalized approach guarantees that patients with chronic dry eye can find a solution that not only improves vision but also enhances overall eye comfort. With the right specialty lenses, patients can experience lasting relief and greater satisfaction with their contact lens wear.

Lens Care for Dry Eye Patients

Proper lens care is crucial for patients with dry eyes to ensure comfort and prevent irritation. Scleral lenses, in particular, should be cleaned thoroughly every day with the recommended solutions to maintain lens cleanliness and prevent residue buildup. Proper cleaning helps to avoid discomfort, as any leftover debris can irritate the sensitive eye surface. Additionally, maintaining the tear reservoir between the lens and cornea is key to ensuring the hydration provided by scleral lenses remains intact.

At Kleinwood Vision, we provide detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to care for specialty lenses, ensuring that patients are equipped with the knowledge to maintain lens hygiene effectively. This includes guidance on cleaning techniques, storing lenses properly, and managing moisture retention. By following these instructions, patients can enjoy consistent, long-term relief from dry eye symptoms. Regular care not only extends the lifespan of the lenses but also ensures they continue providing the comfort and hydration necessary for dry eye relief.
