CONTACTS COULD BE RIGHT FOR YOU

Discover the Comfort of Scleral Lenses

Are you struggling with irregular corneas or severe dry eyes? Scleral lenses, available at Southern Eyecare Associates in Norfolk, may be the solution you've been looking for. These custom-fit lenses offer comfort and clarity, making them an excellent choice for several eye conditions.

Extra-Large Lenses for Extraordinary Comfort

Scleral contact lenses are not your typical eyewear. Unlike traditional contacts, scleral lenses are larger and vault over your entire cornea, leaving a protective gap between the lens and your eye's surface. They rest gently on the white part of your eye, known as the sclera, offering a unique design that sets them apart from standard contacts.
