Scleral Lens Training & First-Time Use: Insertion, Removal & User Confidence

Starting with scleral lenses? You’re not alone in feeling a bit nervous. At Vision On Park, we provide hands-on, guided training so you feel confident inserting, removing, and caring for your lenses before you ever leave our office.

Our training is designed to be supportive, detailed, and paced around your needs—not a rushed tutorial. Most patients leave feeling ready, empowered, and surprised by how quickly they adjust.

What You’ll Learn During Your Scleral Lens Training

We don’t dispense your lenses until you’re 100% confident using them on your own. Here’s what we’ll cover:

Insertion Technique

• Fill the lens bowl with sterile saline
• Find the right mirror and head position
• Keep eyelids steady and learn a smooth, two-handed placement

Avoiding Air Bubbles

• Practice the correct insertion angle
• Ensure a full saline fill to eliminate trapped air under the lens

Safe Removal

• Learn how to gently break the seal
• Use a DMV plunger properly for easy, stress-free removal

Clean & Care Routine

• Daily lens cleaning steps
• Case hygiene
• Replacement intervals and care schedules

Real Support, Even After You Leave

We know the first week can feel intimidating. That’s why your take-home kit includes:

• Your custom scleral lenses
• DMV plunger for removal
• Recommended sterile saline options
• Printed instructions + QR code for video walkthroughs
• After-care phone number for quick questions or support

Common First-Week Questions

“What if the lens feels stuck?”
We’ll teach you how to gently break the seal—never pull straight off a tight lens.

“I keep getting bubbles.”
We’ll troubleshoot fill volume and insertion angle until it becomes second nature to you.

“I’m squeamish about touching my eye.”
That’s completely normal. Confidence builds quickly with repetition and the right tools.
