Seeing Clearly with Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus
Are you or a loved one navigating the challenges of keratoconus? At Compton Eye Associates, we understand how this condition can affect your daily life and vision. That’s why we’re excited to share how scleral lenses are transforming the way we manage keratoconus, offering new hope and clearer vision to those who need it most.
A New Era in Eye Care
Scleral lenses are not just any contact lenses. They represent a significant leap in eye care for keratoconus. These innovative lenses cover the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye. This design is revolutionary because it offers a solution to the irregular cornea shape characteristic of keratoconus. It provides a level of visual clarity once thought unattainable for many patients.
The evolution of scleral lenses has been driven by technology and a deeper understanding of keratoconus. Unlike traditional lenses, scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a tear-filled chamber. This corrects vision without causing discomfort or further damage to the cornea. This approach has broadened the scope of visual rehabilitation for keratoconus patients. It has also paved the way for more practitioners to offer this life-changing solution.
Why Scleral Lenses?
For those with keratoconus, finding the right vision correction solution can be a journey. Scleral lenses stand out because they offer:
- Enhanced Visual Acuity: Say goodbye to blurry vision. Scleral lenses help smooth out the cornea’s irregularities, providing you with clearer vision than ever before.
- Unmatched Comfort: Their design minimizes contact with the sensitive corneal surface, making them comfortable for all-day wear.
- Superior Corneal Health: Made from advanced materials that allow your eyes to breathe, scleral lenses promote healthy, happy eyes.
Cutting-Edge Technology at Compton Eye Associates
At Compton Eye Associates, we’re at the forefront of adopting and integrating the latest advancements in scleral lens technology for keratoconus treatment. Our dedication to providing exceptional vision care drives us to partner with leading labs equipped with the most advanced technologies.
State-of-the-Art Imaging for Unmatched Precision
Our facility boasts sophisticated imaging technologies, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and corneal topography, enabling us to capture detailed images of your eyes. This precision imaging is crucial for designing scleral lenses that offer the best fit, vision correction, and comfort. Through OCT, we obtain high-resolution cross-sectional images to assess the fit of your scleral lens accurately, ensuring it meets your unique needs.
Collaboration with Labs Using CAD/CAM Technology
While Compton Eye Associates doesn’t directly use Computer-Assisted Design (CAD) and Computer-Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) technologies, we partner with specialized labs that do. These partnerships let us provide scleral lenses customized to the micron. This precision is based on the exact specifications from our advanced imaging. Our collaborative approach ensures you get scleral lenses tailored to your eye’s intricate topography. This offers unparalleled comfort and visual acuity.
Profilometry for Advanced Fitting
We also use profilometry to offer the best scleral lens fitting. This technology maps the ocular surface in extraordinary detail. It guides us in selecting the ideal lens design for your eyes. Profilometry’s detailed ocular surface mapping, combined with our lab partners’ CAD/CAM capabilities, ensures a perfect match for your eyes’ unique contours.
At Compton Eye Associates, we commit to utilizing and accessing the latest technologies through our partnerships. This reflects our dedication to your eye health and vision quality.
