As I mentioned in another thread, my vision is rather poorly corrected in my left eye with glasses (20/40 when I got my class 3, but I really had to push it), though my right eye is easily 20/20. With gas permeable lenses, my vision is correctable to 20/20 in each eye for all ranges of vision, but I find these lenses to be uncomfortable.
During my appointment today at the optometrist, I asked about contact lens options that would be more comfortable, and was told about scleral contact lenses:

Would these be permitted? Would I be able to upgrade to a Class 2 medical if these improved my vision enough (only interesting because someday I'd like to fly my business partner around on business trips and file for reimbursement from our company)?
