Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone shape, making it hard to focus. Regular glasses and soft contacts often cannot correct the distorted vision this causes. Custom lenses like scleral lenses and KeraSoft IC vault over the irregular cornea to create a smooth surface for light to pass through, helping you see more clearly.
Finding the right contact lens for your condition starts with a thorough eye evaluation. Our optometrists will examine your eyes using advanced imaging technology and discuss which lens options may work best for your specific needs.
Vision problems after LASIK or other refractive surgeries can feel frustrating, especially if you still notice glare, halos, or fluctuating vision. Specialty contact lenses can create a smooth new surface over your cornea so light focuses more evenly. Many patients find that these lenses improve night driving and everyday comfort. An eye doctor will carefully evaluate your cornea to see which lens design is the safest choice for you.
High astigmatism or an irregularly shaped cornea can make standard glasses and soft contacts less effective. These conditions cause light to scatter instead of focusing in one sharp point, which leads to blur and ghosting. Custom lenses, including scleral lenses, are designed to match your unique eye shape and provide more stable vision. With the right fit, many people notice clearer, more consistent sight throughout the day.
Corneal irregularities may come from conditions like keratoconus, past infections, or eye surgeries. They often affect both clarity and comfort, making simple tasks like reading or driving more difficult. Medical contact lenses can gently vault over the uneven cornea to protect the surface and sharpen your vision. Your lens plan is tailored to your daily activities, symptoms, and long-term eye health.
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea (the clear front part of your eye) thins and bulges outward into a cone shape. This irregular shape makes it hard for light to focus properly, causing blurry or distorted vision. Scleral lenses for keratoconus and KeraSoft IC lenses can help by creating a smooth optical surface over the irregular cornea.
Yes, many patients who experience complications after LASIK or other refractive surgeries can find relief with specialty contact lenses. Scleral lenses after refractive surgery can address issues like glare, halos, and fluctuating vision by vaulting over the reshaped cornea.
Fuchs corneal dystrophy is a condition where cells in the cornea slowly break down, causing the cornea to swell and become cloudy. This can lead to blurry vision and discomfortSpecialty lenses like channeled scleral lenses may help manage symptoms and improve vision clarity.
