Fireside Fr-EYE-Day - Scleral Lens Insertion, Removal, & Cleaning Techniques

Scleral lenses are large diameter lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of your eye. They are custom designed to perfectly fit each patient's eyes and allow for the best possible vision. In this video, Dr. Gibberman discusses proper insertion, removal, & cleaning techniques for taking care of your scleral lenses.

Great video! Well explained and concise. I really learned a lot of technique

Where did you find a Clear Care Kit that will fit the larger Scleral contact lenses?

How do you clean your tools?

Do you squeeze the inserter when putting the lens on your eye?

[@Alpacastan21m]

No, you don’t need to. The eye “suctions” it into place.

Hi Louise - Once you've made contact with the eye, gently press the lens onto the eye, you can then lightly squeeze the insertion plunger to release pressure, and pull back.

Do scleral lenses come in natural color?

[@EyecareOhio]

Hi Ricardo. Scleral lenses come in clear with a light handling tint.

I accidentally got some Clear Care in my eye & it was not pretty. I contacted a chemical burn & had to use an antibiotic for a week

[@josea.sierrajr5258]

You may have used the kind with peroxide. That's a no no

[@colingarner6175]

I think you managed to make that quite confusing because you didn’t explain every process properly ! i.e. don’t put peroxide in your eye but the container neutralises the peroxide , very confusing . 😢
