Corneal-Scleral Contact Lenses
First FDA approved corneal-scleral soft contact lens introduced to the US market in 1969 by Bausch & Lomb. First FDA approved corneal-scleral rigid gas permeable contact lens was introduced to the US market in 1996 by C&H Contact Lens, Inc.
Contact Lens Definitions
Scleral Contact Lens A contact lens, where by, the entire pressure exerted upon the lens by the eye lids, is born by the sclera alone. Corneal Contact Lens A contact lens having an over all diameter equal to or less than the corneal diameter, and where by, the entire pressure exerted by the eye lids upon the lens is born by the cornea alone. Corneal-Scleral Contact Lens A contact lens, where by the bearing pressure placed upon the lens by the eye lids is shared by both the cornea and the sclera.
You have more experience than you know!
The average contact lens practitioner fits over 2,000 corneal-scleral lenses every year! And much of that skill is transferable to today’s MacroLens.
The Ideal Contact Lens For...
• Children
Numerous surveys show that over 70% of eyecare practitioners believe that rigid lenses retard progressive myopia in children. If you have to err...err on the side of caution. Care and comfort is “child’s play”.

• Computer Users
Desktops, laptops, hand helds, or any use of close work tools, slows the blink rate by 50%...a disaster for the soft lens patient. This creates a pseudo dry eye by partially dehydrating the lens, which can also change the optics. The MacroLens will give the same comfort, superior vision, will not dehydrate.

• Replacement for Soft Toric
Most practitioners find soft torics to be a compromise between vision and comfort, and desire an alternative. The MacroLens will mask all corneal surface irregularities and delivers the comfort today’s contact lens patient expects.

• Soft Lens Dry Eye Problems
Soft lenses require a certain quantity of tears in order to keep the balance between comfort and vision. The MacroLens, on the other hand, requires only surface wetting for comfort and vision. The volume of tears required is substantially reduced. Same initial and increased long term comfort.

• R.P.G. Intolerance
There are two forms of discomfort. General discomfort to the eye lids, and foreign matter that get between the lens and the eye, resulting in sharp pain. Although lid discomfort can be overcome by simple adaptation, the patient can never adapt to the pain of debris trapped by the lens. The all day comfort produced by the MacroLens, by blocking out most particles in the air, is beneficial to the patient. This comfort and vision that the contact lens wearer comes to expect is offered only by the MacroLens contact lens.
