Eyeprint Pro

Surpassing the Capabilities of Standard Scleral Contact Lenses At Kansas Contact Lens Institute, many patients who struggle with poor vision from traditional soft contact lenses, glasses, or even conventional scleral contact lenses find that EyePrintPRO offers a superior solution. For those needing specialty contact lenses, scleral lenses are often

The recommended option. Among these, EyePrintPRO stands out as the most customizable and highest-performing scleral contact lens available. However, while EyePrintPRO offers top-tier performance, it may not always be necessary, as other viable alternatives may be available to patients.

During the initial comprehensive exam, Dr. Letourneau will use advanced technology and his extensive experience to determine if EyePrintPRO is essential or if other options may suffice.

What is EyePrintPRO?

  • EyePrintPRO/FIT is the highest performance scleral lens available.

  • It is a mold-based scleral contact lens, created using an impression mold similar to dental impressions.

  • Rarely, EyePrintPRO/FIT fails to work, even for the most severe cases.

  • An excellent opportunity to provide a solution for patients who struggle with traditional scleral lenses but still require them for vision and daily function.

How does it work?

EyePrint technology uses an impression-based technique where a semi-liquid mold is gently placed on the patient's eye, capturing the unique contours of both the cornea and the sclera (the white part of the eye). Patients often describe the process as painless, feeling like a cool liquid being applied to the eye. This detailed impression is then used to create a custom contact lens, with state-of-the-art 3D scanning technology ensuring an exact match to the eye’s shape. EyePrint lenses are crafted with remarkable precision, down to 2 microns (1 micron being one-thousandth of a millimeter), ensuring a perfectly tailored fit.

The precision of EyePrintPRO is demonstrated by its ability to fit 95% of patients with just the first two fittings. This is especially impressive given that it’s typically used for complex cases where traditional scleral lenses may not provide an adequate solution.

Who would be a good fit?

EyePrintPRO is highly effective in treating a variety of conditions, including keratoconus, corneal transplants, severe dry eye disease, and other corneal irregularities. It is especially beneficial for individuals with unique eye shapes or specific conditions, providing a level of precision and comfort that traditional scleral lenses can't match. Additionally, EyePrintPRO is ideal for patients with glaucoma blebs or stents, as it can accurately accommodate the elevation changes associated with these glaucoma treatments.

EyePrintPRO showcases how cutting-edge technology can enhance lives by improving both vision and comfort. It reflects our dedication to using the latest advancements to deliver the highest quality care. Whether you're facing a complex eye condition or simply looking for a more comfortable, effective vision solution, EyePrintPRO may be the perfect option for you.

Who Are They For?

Scan-designed scleral lenses are particularly beneficial for people who have:

  • Keratoconus or other corneal irregularities: These conditions cause the cornea to become misshapen, making traditional contact lenses difficult or uncomfortable to wear

  • Post-surgical corneas: Individuals who have undergone LASIK, corneal transplants, or other eye surgeries often have irregular eye surfaces that require a custom solution

  • Severe dry eye or ocular surface disease: The fluid reservoir between the scleral lens and the eye provides constant hydration, offering significant relief from dryness and discomfort.

  • Hard-to-fit eyes: If you’ve struggled with discomfort, poor vision, or instability with regular contact lenses, scan-based scleral lenses can offer a more stable and comfortable alternative

What Are the Benefits?

  • Precision Fit:
    Because these lenses are based on an exact digital model of your eye, they offer a level of fit accuracy that’s not possible with traditional fitting methods. This means fewer adjustments and trial lenses, and a quicker path to a successful, comfortable fit.

  • Improved Comfort:
    The tailored design reduces areas of pressure and friction, leading to all-day comfort even for people with sensitive or irregular eyes.

  • Stable, Clear Vision:
    The custom vault created by the lens ensures a stable position on the eye, which reduces visual distortion and enhances clarity. This is especially valuable for patients whose vision fluctuates with other lens types.

  • Hydration and Eye Health:
    Scleral lenses create a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the eye’s surface, which helps keep the eye hydrated and protected—particularly beneficial for those with chronic dry eye.

  • Time-Saving:
    Fewer trial-and-error fittings mean less time in the exam chair and faster results. Most people achieve a successful fit in fewer visits than with traditional scleral lens methods.
