Custom Scleral Contact Lenses
If you have an irregular cornea from keratoconus, scarring or surgery, there is an exciting contact lens option available. When the front surface of the eye is irregular, glasses and soft contact lenses are helpful, however images can still be ghosted and do not appear crisp.
A scleral lens is a rigid gas-permeable lens that is about the size of a soft contact lens and specially designed to vault the entire cornea and rest on the white of the eye, the sclera. These lenses provide excellent vision with a smooth optical surface that functionally replaces the irregular cornea lying below. They are also very comfortable because they are custom designs for each individual eye, the white of the eye is not as sensitive as the clear cornea, and the lens vaults the cornea creating a reservoir of fluid that bathes the front of the eye.
Advanced Technology
We use the latest equipment to measure the topography (a hill map) of the surface of your eye with extensive data for the sclera. These maps are used to create a completely custom lens. These lenses are the most precise designs ever made!
Imaging
OCT imaging is used to confirm the lens vaults the clear cornea and lands properly on the sclera. This ensures a healthy and comfortable lens experience.
The images displayed here were taken in our clinic. We use this technology for every patient.
