Keratoconus

Keratoconus can make vision correction challenging, but scleral lenses can be a great solution. As optometrists who have successfully fit many patients with keratoconus, we can confidently say these lenses are a game-changer. Here are five reasons why scleral lenses can be the best solution for keratoconus:

1. Improved Vision: Scleral lenses provide clear, sharp vision by creating a smooth optical surface over your cornea. This is especially important for keratoconus patients, whose irregular corneas often distort vision.
2. Comfort: The lenses rest on the sclera, avoiding the sensitive cornea altogether. This makes them much more comfortable than traditional lenses.
3. Hydration: The fluid reservoir keeps your eyes moist and comfortable, which is crucial for patients with corneal irritation or dryness.
4. Custom Fit: Each lens is tailored to your unique eye shape, ensuring a perfect fit and reducing the risk of discomfort or slipping.
5. Stability: Unlike traditional lenses, scleral lenses stay in place and don’t shift throughout the day, providing consistent vision.

If you have keratoconus and have been frustrated by your vision with traditional glasses or soft contacts, let’s discuss whether scleral lenses could work for you. Our goal is to help you achieve the best vision possible while keeping your eyes healthy and comfortable.
