Why Hydrophilic Soft Coating on Scleral Lenses is a Game-Changer for Dry Eye Patients Scleral lenses have long been a breakthrough solution for patients with dry eyes, keratoconus, and other corneal irregularities. But recent advancements have taken their comfort and performance to the next level — thanks to the hydrophilic soft coating technology. What is a Hydrophilic Soft Coating? This is a 3 to 5 micron ultra-thin, water-attracting layer applied to the surface of a scleral lens. “Hydrophilic” means it has a natural affinity for water, allowing the lens to retain moisture for longer periods. Key Benefits for Patients: 1. Superior Comfort: The soft coating creates a silky, smooth surface that minimizes friction between the lens and the inner eyelid — ideal for patients who wear lenses for extended hours. 2. Enhanced Moisture Retention: The hydrophilic layer helps maintain a stable tear reservoir under the lens, essential for severe dry eye patients and those with ocular surface disease. 3. Reduced Lens Fogging and Deposits: It resists protein and lipid build-up, keeping the lens clearer and improving vision stability throughout the day. 4. Improved Lens Wettability: Promotes even distribution of the tear film across the lens surface, reducing dry spots and increasing visual clarity. 5. Longer Wearing Time: With reduced dryness and irritation, many patients find they can comfortably wear their scleral lenses for more hours per day. Who Can Benefit? • Severe Dry Eye Syndrome • Sjögren’s Syndrome • Ocular Graft-versus-Host Disease (GVHD) • Stevens-Johnson Syndrome • Post-LASIK or PRK Dryness • Anyone experiencing discomfort with standard scleral lenses This innovation, introduced in India for the first time by Chandrashekhar Chawan PhD FSLS FAAO celebrity Optometrist of Shekhar Eye Research, Mumbai, India is a remarkable leap forward in ocular surface management. Comfort is no longer a luxury — it’s the new standard. Best Dry Eye Management center in Kopri Colony-Thane East Siddharth Nagar-Thane East, Veer Savarkar Nagar-Thane East...
