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.

Had a wonderful experience at Eye Care Center
Nour, once again gave me great service. I've known and have had the pleasure of Nour's assistance for a couple of years now. She helped me pick out new frames for my glasses. Can't wait to see them when they are ready. Thanks again for all your help!

Would recommend Dr. Jenna Bacerra to anyone of all ages! Previous eye doctors at corporate chains rushed through my eye exam but Dr. Bacerra described everything with great attention. My time went past 5 because I had so many questions but my dr. and the sweet lady that helped me with my paperwork reassured me it was okay 🙂
Response from the owner 03:22 28 Aug 25
Thank you so much Laura for your wonderful recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that Dr. Bacerra took the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all your questions. Providing personalized, unhurried care is very important to us. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Dr. Bacerra and our team. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Customer Beware! This place is a total scam. They lie to you about your insurance to force you into paying a ton out of pocket and at the same time double bill your insurance for the same services that you just paid out of pocket.
Update:
I spoke to the owner. It was a great call. Definitely miscommunication which led to confusion and red flags. Eye Care center is not a scam. I remain a customer of Eye Care Center and look forward to continuing to use them for my eye care needs in the future.
Note: I have updated my rating from one star to four stars based on factors I believe justified my rating change.

My first visit to eyecare center was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, to the moment I left,care was outstanding. I'm a disabled veteran. I appreciate the time they took to explain everything to me. Although I received bad news, I left with a feeling of hope. Thank you!

The entire appointment was great. The office is located in a mall. Easy to find and plenty of parking. I was seen by the Med-tech as soon as we arrived. He was very kind and professional. As soon as the tech was finished his testing I went to see the DR. DR Albina was wonderful. He totally knew my vision situation and spoke to both my wife and I. It was a refreshing experience because he, in just a few minutes knew exactly what I have be dealing with for almost 40 years. He is going to stay in contact with me even though this was a one time visit set up by Veterans Evaluation Services. I highly recommend DR. Albina!

Keratoconus FAQs
How do I know if I have keratoconus?
Common signs include increasing astigmatism, worsening vision not corrected by glasses, glare, and frequent prescription changes. A corneal topography scan confirms the diagnosis.
Are scleral lenses covered by insurance?
Many medical insurances cover part or all of the fitting and lens cost when keratoconus is diagnosed, especially if vision cannot be corrected with glasses. We can verify your coverage before your fitting.
Are scleral lenses hard to insert or remove?
They take some practice, but our team will train you on insertion, removal, and cleaning. Most patients become comfortable within the first week.
How long do scleral lenses last?
With proper care, scleral lenses typically last 1–2 years. We recommend regular follow-ups to ensure a healthy fit and monitor corneal stability.
Will keratoconus get worse over time?
Keratoconus tends to progress over several years before stabilizing. We monitor axial length and topography regularly. In younger or rapidly progressing patients, we may refer for corneal crosslinking to help halt progression.
Can I wear scleral lenses all day?
Yes, many patients wear them 10–14 hours a day comfortably. We recommend midday lens removal and refill if needed for optimal comfort.
