Scleral Lenses: A Solution for Keratoconus at Complete Family Vision Care Optometry

Keratoconus is a condition that affects the shape of your cornea, leading to distorted vision and discomfort. Scleral lenses offer an effective solution for managing keratoconus, providing both clear vision and comfort. At Complete Family Vision Care Optometry, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses to help you see clearly and comfortably.

What is Keratoconus and How Does it Manifest?

• What is Keratoconus? Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision. Traditional glasses or contact lenses often cannot adequately correct the vision in cases of keratoconus.
• Why Scleral Lenses? Scleral lenses are larger than standard contact lenses and vault over the entire cornea, creating a smooth surface that corrects vision. They rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) rather than on the cornea itself, making them comfortable to wear.

Benefits of Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

• Improved Vision: Scleral lenses provide stable, clear vision by covering the irregular corneal shape with a smooth, uniform optical surface.
• Comfortable Wear: The design of scleral lenses minimizes discomfort, even for those with sensitive or irregular corneas, making them ideal for managing keratoconus.
• Eye Hydration: The space between the cornea and the scleral lens is filled with saline, which helps keep the eye hydrated and reduces irritation.
