Keratoconus is a progressive corneal disease that causes a thin, cone shaped eye, and leads to poor vision in many cases. Management for vision of keratoconus may include specialty lenses like RGPs and Sclerals. This photo shows an OCT scan of a scleral lenses on top of a cornea with a posterior cone. The cornea is not perfectly round and therefore bends light unfavorably to cause blur, halos, and distortion. The scleral creates a new front surface to the eye and can help improve vision.

What is the most deposits you’ve ever seen on a scleral lenses? This is a new record for me! It is important to maintain good lens and ocular health by controlling dry eye, blepharitis, and allergies as a contact lens wearer. Unfortunately, these deposits were secondary to an allergic reaction, but that was easily remedied by removing the allergen (his contact lens cleaner).

Getting scleral lenses for the first time can be very overwhelming. We want our patients to be as successful as possible so we provide them with a bag of tools they can use help them be prepared for everything that comes their way. Scleral lens wearers: is there anything we are forgetting? What do you wish your doctor provided when you started wearing lenses?

Have you been told that your eye is too irregular to wear a scleral lens? Maybe due to trauma, a surgical bleb for glaucoma, too steep of a cornea? If you have been unsuccessful in traditional scleral lenses, we may have a solution! Impression based scleral lenses, or EyePrint Pro, are made from a mold of your eye! If you are interested in trying EyePrint Pro lenses, please call the office at 443-453-5444 or email info@McConkeyEyeCare.com
