Optimize your Vision
Traditionally, small rigid contact lenses have been used to optimize vision for patients with kerataconus. Although initially uncomfortable, patients do become unaware of their lenses after approximate.
To further enhance comfort soft lenses are sometimes placed under hard lenses.(piggy back system).This helps to minimize dryness and enhance wearability.
In recent years many patients are being fitted with Scleral lenses, an extremely comfortable option for those with kerataconus.
Typically larger in diameter
These lenses are typically larger in diameter compared to traditional contact lenses and rest on the sclera, vaulting over the cornea.
Scleral lenses create a fluid-filled space between the lens and the cornea, which provides several benefits. These lenses are often prescribed for individuals with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus or severe dry eye syndrome, as they can help improve vision and provide comfort by providing a smooth and regular optical surface.
Scleral lenses also help protect the cornea and keep it hydrated by acting as a reservoir for tears. They require proper fitting and regular care, so it’s important to consult with an eye professional such as ourseves for guidance and assistance when considering scleral lenses
