Scleral Contact Lens Fittings in Carson City
If you’ve struggled to find contact lenses that feel comfortable or provide clear vision, scleral lenses may be a good option. These lenses are designed differently from standard contacts and can offer improved comfort for certain patients.
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?
Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contact lenses and rest on the white part of your eye rather than directly on the cornea. This design allows the lens to create a smooth surface over the eye, which can help improve comfort and provide more stable vision for some patients.
At Carson City Optics, Dr Kyle Lark will take the time to understand your needs and guide you through the process to find a solution that works for you.
From medical treatments to your annual eye exam, we provide a wide range of services at Carson City Optics.

Who Can Benefit from Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses may be a good fit for patients who:
- Have difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses
- Need a more stable or comfortable lens option
- Have changes in the shape of their cornea
If contacts haven’t worked well for you in the past, this may be another option worth exploring.
How Scleral Lenses Work
Because of how they sit on the eye, scleral lenses can offer a different experience than standard contacts. They are designed to:
- Provide a more stable fit throughout the day
- Improve comfort for certain eye conditions
- Help create clearer, more consistent vision
Our Carson City eye doctors will help you determine if this type of lens is the right fit for your eyes.
What to Expect During a Scleral Lens Fitting
Fitting scleral lenses takes a bit more time and precision than standard contact lenses, but that extra care helps ensure the best possible fit. During your visit, you can expect:
- Detailed measurements of your eyes
- Trial lenses to evaluate fit and comfort
- Adjustments to improve clarity and stability
- Guidance on how to insert, remove, and care for your lenses
We take our time with this process to make sure your lenses feel right and work well for your vision. It’s normal for scleral lenses to feel different at first. Our team will walk you through what to expect and help you get comfortable with wearing and caring for your lenses.
