Keratoconus
Do you or your child have eyes that don’t align properly or experience double vision?
Eye Care Center LTD specializes in evaluating and managing strabismus with non-surgical and surgical co-management options.
What Is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This distortion affects how light enters the eye and can cause significant visual impairment. Symptoms may include blurred or distorted vision, increased light sensitivity, frequent prescription changes, and difficulty seeing at night.
Early detection and specialized care are key to preserving vision and improving quality of life.
Expert Keratoconus Management at Eye Care Ltd
At The Eye Care Center Ltd, we specialize in managing keratoconus using advanced diagnostic tools and custom lens technologies to ensure each patient receives personalized care.
Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus
Scleral lenses are a life-changing option for many keratoconus patients. These large-diameter gas permeable lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye), creating a smooth optical surface and a tear-filled reservoir that enhances vision and comfort.
Benefits of Scleral Lenses:
- Superior visual clarity
- Custom-designed for irregular corneas
- Excellent comfort even with severe dry eye
- Stable fit and long wearing times
- Ideal for advanced keratoconus or post-surgical eyes (e.g., post-transplant or post-crosslinking)
We offer fitting and ongoing management for scleral lenses, including troubleshooting and refinements for complex cases.
Other Keratoconus Lens Options Offered
-
- Custom Soft Lenses for Keratoconus: Designed with thicker centers to mask irregularity while maintaining comfort.
- Hybrid Lenses: Featuring a rigid gas permeable center with a soft skirt for clarity and comfort.
- Corneal GP Lenses: Small rigid lenses that provide crisp vision for mild to moderate keratoconus.
- Piggyback Lens Systems: A soft lens underneath a GP lens to improve comfort and stability.
- Multifocal Scleral or Hybrid Options: For patients needing simultaneous correction of presbyopia and keratoconus.
