The Sclera lens case is designed for scleral lenses and mini-scleral lenses. Thanks to its taller design and more spacious lens compartments, it offers more room than a standard lens case. The case keeps both lenses separate and neatly organised. Its compact size makes this accessory suitable for use at home and on the go. A practical lens case for contact lens wearers who use larger lenses and are looking for a suitable case. Read more
The SMEYEL scleral lens case is designed for the vertical storage and disinfection of (mini) scleral lenses with a large diameter and a deep sagitta. The case has a tall cylindrical shape with extra-wide and deep lens compartments, ensuring the lens remains fully submerged and is not flattened. The case is made from smooth, hypoallergenic and antibacterial medical-grade plastic and features colour-coded compartments to prevent mix-ups. The leak-proof, textured screw cap seals securely and is easy to grip. A clean case, replaced in good time, is an essential part of a hygienic lens care routine. The case is sold individually.
You use the sclera lens case to store and disinfect scleral lenses in the appropriate solution. The case has a taller design and more spacious lens compartments than many standard lens cases, ensuring that larger lenses remain fully submerged and are not squashed. Fill the case with fresh solution before each use and do not top up with old solution. Use the solution recommended for the scleral lens and follow the care system specified for that lens. The colour-coded markings on the baskets help to ensure that the left and right lenses are not mixed up. This ensures the lenses are kept organised and disinfected. If you have any questions about the correct solution, your contact lens specialist will provide advice tailored to your lenses.
Scleral lenses are often larger than standard lenses and have a deep sagittal groove. As a result, they do not always fit properly in a small, flat lens case. A small case may flatten the edges of the lens or fail to submerge it sufficiently. A taller case with spacious, deep compartments makes storing and removing the lenses easier to manage and ensures the lens is fully submerged in the solution. This is important for thorough cleaning and disinfection of the entire lens. The scleral lens case is designed to accommodate this shape. Always use a case that is suitable for the size of the lens and the solution used. The contact lens specialist will advise which case is suitable for the wearer’s scleral lens.
This depends on the lens’s diameter, shape and care system. The case has been designed for scleral lenses with a large diameter and a deep sagitta, but not every scleral lens is the same size. You should therefore always check that the case fits the specific lens and follow the advice of your contact lens specialist. For extra-large lenses up to approximately 24 mm, the XL lens case with a spacious cup may be more suitable. The choice of case forms part of the broader advice on scleral lens care. The contact lens specialist will determine which case is suitable for the diameter and shape of the wearer’s lens, ensuring that the lens can be stored and disinfected properly and hygienically.
This case is designed for scleral lenses. For soft contact lenses, a standard lens case is usually sufficient. Use the case that is suitable for the type of lens and the solution you are using.
For some larger rigid lenses, a spacious case may be practical. For standard RGP lenses, an RGP lens case is often more suitable. If in doubt, seek advice from a contact lens specialist.
Use the solution recommended for scleral lenses. Not every solution is suitable for every type of lens or lens material, so follow the manufacturer’s instructions and the advice of your contact lens specialist. For example, a peroxide system is used to clean and disinfect scleral lenses; for filling before insertion, use a sterile, preservative-free saline solution or a specific filling solution. Fill the case with fresh solution each time you use it and do not top up with old solution. Do not use tap water or distilled water for rinsing, filling or storing scleral lenses. The contact lens specialist determines which solutions and the correct sequence are suitable for the wearer’s lenses, to ensure that cleaning, disinfection and insertion are carried out as intended.
No. Do not use tap water or distilled water for rinsing, filling or storing scleral lenses.
Discard any used solution after inserting your lenses and clean the case according to the instructions for the solution you are using. Then leave the case to dry, clean and open. Do not use tap water for the lens case or the lenses, as tap water is not suitable for contact lenses. Next time, fill the case with fresh solution. The smooth, antibacterial material makes the case easy to keep clean. Touch the inside of the compartments as little as possible and store the case away from make-up, bathroom products and other liquids. A clean, dry case contributes to a hygienic lens care routine. If you are unsure about the cleaning method to use with a particular solution, follow the instructions on the packaging and the advice of your contact lens specialist.
A practical guideline is to replace the case every three months, or sooner if it is damaged, visibly soiled, discoloured or worn. A worn or soiled case can promote bacterial growth, which compromises the hygiene of your lens care routine. Check the case regularly for cracks, build-up or a screw cap that no longer seals properly, and replace the case if any of these issues arise. Replacing the case in good time ensures that the storage and disinfection of scleral lenses remain hygienic. The case is sold individually, so you can easily replace it. If you have any questions about how often to replace it in a specific situation, your contact lens specialist will provide advice tailored to the wearer and the scleral lens.
The sclera lens case and the XL lens case are both designed for larger scleral lenses, but differ in shape. The sclera lens case has a tall, vertical cylindrical design with extra-wide and deep compartments. The XL lens case has an extra-spacious, deep cup designed for diameters of up to approximately 24 mm. Which case is most suitable depends on the diameter, shape and sagitta of the lens, as well as the care system. For some lenses, the tall, vertical design works better; for others, the spacious cup is preferable. The contact lens specialist determines which case is suitable for the wearer’s scleral lens. In practice, you can offer both options, so that you can choose the case that suits the lens you are fitting.
Do not simply use this case as a substitute for the special case that comes with a hydrogen peroxide system. Peroxide systems involve a neutralisation step, which only works properly with the corresponding case. The peroxide system for scleral lenses is therefore supplied with its own spacious scleral lens case. Always use peroxide solution with the case designed for that system and follow the neutralisation time. The scleral lens case is intended for use with a cleaning, disinfecting or storage solution that does not require neutralisation, or for storage after a completed routine. If you wish to place a lens on a peroxide system, use the corresponding case. The contact lens specialist will advise which system and which case are suitable for the wearer’s scleral lens.
