About this video: Do you have keratoconus or another eye disease which requires a scleral lens? Scleral lenses are large contact lenses which fit over the cornea and land on the sclera, the white part of the eye. Scleral contact lens insertion and removal can be a challenge so I made this video to help you through the process. Scleral contact lenses are often used for keratoconus, post surgical cases and other corneal diseases including severe dry eye disease. Sclera contact lenses for keratoconus, when fit and worn correctly, are extremely comfortable and offer improved vision.

Eye Health Question of the day: Do you wear Scleral lenses? Do you like them? What are some of your pro's and cons of sclerals?

@elliebond6807 4 года назад

Thank you for your videos. I have just started wearing soft 2 weekly lenses. I have astigmatism in my left eye. My optician (I'm in Scotland)didn't spot my astigmatism at first. He gave me 2 non astigmatism monthly lenses. They were awful. I was going to give up. I had always been told I couldn't wear contacts anyway. I then found your contact lense videos and that really helped. I went back to my optician and I told them that I needed to change my lenses. They were reluctant at first. I kept on at them. In the end a different optician checked my eyes and said that I did have an astigmatism. They then changed my lenses. If it wasn't for your videos I wouldn't be wearing contacts now and I would still be paying hundreds of pounds every 12 months for new glasses. I still get double vision in bright light. I still struggle to do small close work but I am hoping that I will be able to when I get my reading over glasses. I just want to say a MASSIVE Thank you for your videos. You have really changed my life.

@jhoanna17 4 года назад

Yes i do wear them everyday, although if im just staying home I don’t wear them and try to give my eyes a break. I love them! It took me a while to get used to them. Pros: i can see 20/25 , they are confortable, they help my dry eye , and most important I CAN SEE!. Also it’s funny when people see you put them on or take them off their face is like 😰😱 lol. Cons: took time to learn how to put them on, and they are uncomfortable when air hits directly like the ac from the car or an open car window.

@gtileo 2 года назад

I suffer from eye herpes in my right eye so I'm in the same boat. I'm legally blind in it from scarring all over the cornea. My corneal specialist recommended these lenses. I'm waiting to get fitted and to see if I'm a candidate for them, so I'm just getting a feel for how to insert them. When i went to get sized for them i had a trial one on and it made a huge difference in my vision, brought me from 20/100 to 20/40 and would likely improve since my vision in that eye has been like this for 35 years

@debrakelly3 3 года назад

Dear Doctor Eye Health - your suggestion to cut off the bottom tip of the DMV insertion plunger is brilliant! Today is Day 3 for wearing a scleral lens. Days 1 & 2 were frustrating, but I managed to get it in. It was even more frustrating today. Finally, I was inspired to check RU-vid. You saved the day with that simple solution. The light through the plunger helped navigate the insertion process. I am so grateful! I will tell my eye-care team about you and your RU-vid videos. What a generous, thoughtful, and helpful service! Thank you!

@Axe0403 5 месяцев назад

To everyone struggling, I put the plunger on the bottom, push up and out but do half turns to the left and right. Usually on the 2nd or 3rd attempt it comes out. I used to spend an hour and a half struggling.

@umarsattar1540 2 месяца назад

Got diagnosed with karetoconus. After trialling various soft and rgp lenses for over a year. We finally tried scleral and ordered a trial pair because they were surprisingly comfortable. Especially compared to a rgp. I've never tried a scleral before, my optometrist did it for me for the trial. But I'm waiting for my appointment and I will use the tips from this video. Thank you.

@denissecharles1 Месяц назад

I was diagnosed with it at 22, I just turned 30 and I'm so scared to try them. RGP is all I know

@sacsw81ga 5 месяцев назад

A quick TIP for inserting the scleral lens, which in the end was the only way I succeded. Super challenging at first, but becomes natural with practice. Place a mirror onto a counter facing up. With your right hand (if you're right-haded), hold the DMV with your thumb and index fingers. Facing down into the mirror, use your 4th finger to pull your bottom eyelid down. With the index finger of your other (left) hand, pull up the top eyelid. While looking straight into the mirror, and as a consequence also into the lens, place the lens on your eye using the fingers holding teh DMV. Hope this helps.

Great video! My second day in scleral lenses after 20+ years of soft lenses my eye are specialist couldn’t offer soft lenses unless I “piggybacked” multiple lenses to correct my astigmatism……. I can see!! I can’t describe my excitement. No horrific glare, even better contrast and colour, fixes my dry eye/blepharitis, close to 20/20 vision, I smile more haha I can’t think of any cons per se, I guess a very minor inconvenience is I can’t just garbage a daily disposable and have a new cleaning regimen…. I don’t even care, I can see now! 😬

@timothywilliams1359 3 года назад

Wow! I wish you were training the medical staff at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Eye Center. All of your suggestions for inserting and removing scleral lenses are better than what they showed me. At my next visit there, I am going to demonstrate your techniques to the head of Optometry. Thank you so much!

@jkbunch60 3 года назад

Just came across your video. I’ve been scared to wear my lenses because they were applying pressure to my eyes, and it took a long time to insert without getting a bubble. After watching you I switched my technique and both went in without a problem and few comfortable.

@jhoanna17 4 года назад

The first time I wore my scleral lenses it took me over 2 hrs to put them on. What helped me the most is using a dmv tool with a hole under and putting a makeup mirror with a light underneath so the light shines through and i can see what im doing. So Don’t be discouraged, keep practicing and find what works for you. It now takes me 5 mins. It takes longer to set up everything i need.

I see how u just repeated the video I just watched.?.could of avoided the growing annoying of his voice....but....at least I do admit that I never heard about that little tool. That is creepier than just kindly set it in your eye via fingers..any trouble with getting them in is due to over thinking it. But no one has said about that moment when they just go where they are and if they are all black it will cause a sudden panic that I u can't deal with but then u don't think bout them

@lilic6786 3 года назад

Dr. Allen , All your videos are helpful and invaluable, especially for my dry eye life. Recently I've started to wear scleral lenses and your tutorial is not only clear but reassuring because it is a scary adventure to put those Huge lenses into small sensitive eyes. So glad you provided direction and answers for basic Scleral questions. Thank you! The sclerals do provide more crisp and clear vision than my soft contacts ( had to stop wearing soft contacts due to very dry eyes). They're almost great if not for the fogging/haze after wearing them for a hour or two.

@chrisninasp8742 Год назад

Lili, could you please share your experience wearing scleral contact lens? I have very dry eyes and I have been using special eye drops non preservatives from my ophthalmologist for years. My glasses power is getting thicker that I dont feel comfortable wearing glasses. Iam trying to consider wearing these lens thank you!

@robinreidmusic Год назад

I am 69 years old and getting my new lenses pretty soon so I am watching training videos like yours. I wore rigid lenses back in the 70s through the 90s. In 1999 I had lasik surgery and only needed reading glasses. Two years ago I had cataract surgery for both eys and my left eye didn't do so well so I am being prescribed these new lenses. Thanks for this video.

Getting mine next month…post Lasik AND PRK in my right eye with moderate/severe astigmatism 3 years ago. distance vision has been declining rapidly the last 6 months 20/25 to 20/70. 😫 Was told my cornea is very thin at 435. Doc said this sclera lens is my only option. I’ve had years of contacts prior to lasik but I’m kind of nervous for this! I’m so sad I thought my aid free vision was a forever thing 💔 Great video !

@amym5712 4 года назад

New sclera lens user with keratoconus here, at first it took me 12 tries to put in just one contact. It was very frustrating. Using the insertion tool was a big help. I've been using sclera lenses for 3 weeks now and they're immensely more comfortable than normal hard lenses that can get out of place and sting your eyes. I remember the stinging got so bad, I'd start to cry. These new lenses are so comfortable and can last long hours of use with some eye lubricant drops being added every so often. Sure, it's a hassle even now to manage them and work to insert them in the morning (it still takes me a few tries), I don't regret switching to sclera lenses. Great video!

when removing, be sure to hold both top and bottom eyelids open just as you did when putting them on. This is because while removing, you may blink (just like he did in the video) while it's halfway out and cause the lens to hit your pupil which can be extremely painful.

@LarryRuane 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video, it's excellent! As an alternative to the S5 Inserter stand (which is currently $399), you can put a drinking glass (one that lets light through) upside down and place the DMV plunger between the two sides of a normal pair of tweezers. Then you can hold your eye open with two hands, which makes insertion much easier and more reliable for me.

@alylisab 2 года назад

I literally just had my first lesson and try out today at my opto. In the process of being ordered to custom fit me. So the only part of this video that was different than what they told me today was, when you make contact with the eye when inserting to then squeeze the plunger. In this video this doctor didn't say that. Also they didn't tell me I could cut the bottom of the plunger to make it easier to see the center of it which I find very useful and smart.

I had hard time putting this lens on. I bought a cheap $10 stand on Amazon and it works amazing. I've been using it for a month and I haven't had any issue putting it on. It takes me less than a minute to put it on now.

Haven't worn contacts in about 10 years after having Lasik but this brought back so many memories of my morning routine.

Super helpful, thank you very much , I just knew that i have to use a free preservative artificial tears to fill the lens before putting it in. I used to fill it with solution before putting it in. Also i just knew the technic of how to remove it easier way. You are the first to tell me that . Thank u alot

@yazeedoro 2 месяца назад

Is ok if I adjust it too tight on the eye?! Or it would affect the endothelium to retain fluid ! Hence making it infected ?!

@Jamalsneed44 Год назад

I advise y’all watch this video before you get your lenses it helped me a bunch and my doctor was surprised how fast I learned how to insert my lenses second visit they felt comfortable with me inserting

This was helpful, can I use the inserting and removing stick for regular eye contacts?

@Justice9310c Год назад

i really dont use that tool for my scleral lenses rather i usee my hands instread of the tool my doctor gave me,, but he gave me a technique on using my hands since he notice that my hands are my tool putting the scleral lenses, and it took me 3 hours to put my lenses in and it was so worth it and my follow up is on september 12 and i was suffering blurry vision for 3 years couldn't see anything and yesterday I'm able to see everything so clear and all that blurry vision went away, made me happy so much, no more going near on the tv, can finally play videos games, and etc... proud of my scleral lenses.

@CJ-vi7xm 4 года назад

I have been waiting for this video (as I work as a Specialty lens technician). I was just hoping you might have covered what types of conditions scleral lenses could be used for, as many people don't know they may be an option. Great video, will keep an eye out for the next one :)

@DoctorEyeHealth 4 года назад

Omg I had that in the video but removed it because the video was about how to put them in. But I hope to have s video soon about specialty lenses and who they are used for. Glad you liked the video!

First day trying my lens. I can't believe I got it in under 10 minutes. THANK YOU!🤗 Let me go and subscribe to your channel.

@m00rtin4 4 года назад

got these for my keratoconus last week. its soooooooooo much better than rgp lenses. best lenses iv ever used. i think they are quite easy to put in actually, but harder to get them out. especially without the rubber tool. (sorry dont know the name in english)

@SlimKronic 3 года назад

I went in for my fitting today. I also have your eye condition and went in for cross linking. Is it true that you see way better with them instead of wearing glasses? I’m excited to see perfect for once in my life hah

@blueskies000 2 года назад

putting them in i've got! sometimes they stubbornly take a bit to remove, though. i've found that using lubricating drops beforehand can help a little.

@dancunningham5800 3 года назад

Worn contacts for years. This terrified me. 🤣 Was a great video, very informative but it made my legs turn to jelly.🤣🤣

@nicolerojas9856 4 года назад

Thank you for being so awesome and making these educational videos!!! Would you be making any videos about “colored contacts for people with astigmatism??”

@omaryahya7258 Год назад

Wearing these lenses for the first time, I do have keratoconus. It's been an absolute nightmare but hopefully I learn quick

@hsabzevari1 4 года назад

Thanks a lot for the video. My eyes get red with a specific brand of scleral lenses. Another brand does not cause red eyes but provides blurry vision. Can the lenses material cause a kind of allergic reaction or can it be the solution which cause redness?

@scottburnett5034 3 года назад

This really helped as newbie. I have had keratoconus for 15 years now. Glasses have normally helped. But I wanted to go with out them. My eye doctor in the Uk gave me one of these for my bad left eye. But a soft one for my right. Do you suggest this?

@BigButtocks967 Год назад

That s5 inserter is criminally expensive, £400 for a suction cup on a stick is a clear cut case of taking advantage of people. Apart from that great video.
