Scleral lenses

[jennfran]

I know some people have blood shot eyes and was wondering if anyone has thought about gas-permable scleral lenses? These lenses cover the whole eye and they are tinted white to cover the bloodshot eyes. Also I am seeing that my inner lower eyelid is pink. I can put makeup on the outter but cannot cover the inner as it is to moist and just wash off. I am wondering if argon laser would lighten this? Jenn

Not sure what you mean by inner lower lid. The rim bit around the actual eye?

Have you tried leaving makeup off for a few days to see if the blood shot/redness effect disappears?

I tried gas permeable lenses once and they were the most uncomfortable things ever. If you are used to soft lenses its a real difference.

I say my inner lower lid because I have redness where my eyelashes are but alson have redness on the inside of eyelashes, the rim, closer to the eyeball, where it is more pink. I dont know if I am saying this right.

Dont they make the gas-permeble soft now also? I thought they did but maybe I am wrong. These lenses are suppose to cover the redness of the eye. I never heard of them before but thought that was pretty neat. Thanks..Jenn
