Seeing Clearly with Scleral Lenses: One Patient’s Story and Our Mission to Help

At Del Mar Family Eye Care, we believe every patient deserves clear, comfortable vision—especially those with complex vision conditions like keratoconus.

That’s why Dr. Moore has devoted herself to becoming a trusted provider of scleral lenses, a life-changing option for patients who may have been told in the past that nothing could help.

What Are Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses are large, gas-permeable contact lenses that vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the white of the eye (the sclera). This design makes them ideal for patients with keratoconus, severe dry eye, or irregular corneas.

These lenses create a smooth optical surface and offer unmatched comfort and clarity, even for those who have struggled with standard contacts or glasses.

Why Dr. Moore Cares So Deeply

Dr. Moore’s passion for scleral lenses is rooted in real-life experience. One young man came to our office after years of worsening vision. His father had taken him for eye exams annually, yet no one had diagnosed keratoconus.

After failing his driver’s test, he was referred to us. Dr. Moore quickly identified the condition and fit him with scleral lenses. The results were immediate and powerful: he saw clearly again—and passed his test.

Stories like this are what drives our commitment. Every patient matters, and the right diagnosis can change a life.

Personalized, Compassionate Eye Care

We understand that eye care can feel overwhelming—especially if you’ve been told you’re a “hard-to-fit” patient or are worried about the cost.

Dr. Moore takes the time to get to know each patient and find the best solution for their unique needs. And for those without insurance plan, we offer flexible payment options to make advanced care accessible.

We’re proud to serve the diverse population of Aurora, including Spanish-speaking patients. Our bilingual team ensures everyone can feel comfortable, informed, and confident in their care journey.
