At Insight Vision Center Optometry, we believe that every patient deserves a solution tailored precisely to their needs, especially for complex vision issues that traditional contacts or glasses cannot address. In a recent inspiring case, Dr. Schramm used the highly specialized EyePrintPRO™ scleral lens to help a patient achieve clear vision after years of struggling to see. This patient’s journey—from barely being able to see the big “E” on the eye chart to an impressive 20/20 vision—serves as a testament to how advanced, personalized eye care can change lives.
The Struggle: Overcoming Challenges with Standard Vision Solutions
This patient faced significant challenges with standard vision correction methods:
- Glasses did not provide the clarity he needed.
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses—a common option for complex vision cases—proved uncomfortable and intolerable.
Without a solution that fit his unique needs, this patient was left with severely limited vision, impacting his quality of life and daily activities. Fortunately, custom solutions like the EyePrintPRO™ lens provide options for patients who are highly visually impaired and have found little success with other treatments.
The EyePrintPRO™ Solution: A Custom “Fingerprint” for Your Eye
EyePrintPRO™ scleral lenses are a groundbreaking development in eye care, designed for patients with unique corneal shapes or irregularities. Unlike standard contact lenses, each EyePrintPRO™ lens is custom-molded to fit the exact contours of the patient’s eye, providing a comfortable and precise fit. Think of it as a fingerprint, unique to each eye and tailored to correct specific visual challenges.
At Insight Vision Center Optometry, we use this custom lens technology to treat various conditions, including:
- Keratoconus
- Irregular Astigmatism
- Severe Dry Eye
- Corneal Trauma or Post-Surgical Complications
- Conditions such as Pellucid Marginal Degeneration, Pinguecula, and Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency
For this patient, the EyePrintPRO™ scleral lens was a game-changer, transforming his vision and daily life.
How Does the EyePrintPRO™ Work?
The EyePrintPRO™ scleral lens is crafted using an impression-based technique to create a lens that fits the patient’s eye with unparalleled precision. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Eye Impression: An impression of the eye’s surface is taken, capturing every curve, ridge, and irregularity.
- Custom Lens Creation: Using this impression, a scleral lens is custom-made to fit the patient’s unique eye shape.
- Exceptional Fit and Vision: The result is a lens that fits comfortably over the eye, providing exceptional clarity and comfort.
This method ensures that patients experience a level of vision correction not achievable with traditional contacts or glasses.
The Results: A Life Transformed with 20/20 Vision
For our patient, the results were beyond what he could have hoped for. After years of struggling to see clearly, his vision improved dramatically—from barely seeing the largest letter on the eye chart to achieving 20/20 clarity. With his EyePrintPRO™ lens, he now experiences a quality of life that he once thought was out of reach.
Who Can Benefit from EyePrintPRO™?
The EyePrintPRO™ scleral lens can be a life-changing solution for individuals with complex corneal issues or those who have not had success with standard corrective lenses. Conditions that may benefit from this custom solution include:
- Severe Corneal Irregularities: Such as keratoconus, post-surgical ectasia, and corneal trauma.
- Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Diseases: Provides relief for patients with conditions that cause extreme dryness.
- Degenerative Conditions: Including pellucid marginal degeneration and limbal stem cell deficiency.
For those who have struggled with vision correction options, EyePrintPRO™ offers a pathway to clearer, more comfortable vision.
