Scan-designed scleral lenses are an advanced form of custom contact lenses created using state-of-the-art eye-mapping technology. These lenses are specifically made to fit the unique shape of your eye by capturing detailed, three-dimensional scans of both the cornea and the sclera.
By using scanning technology, eye care professionals can design a lens that mirrors every curve, slope, and irregularity of your eye with high precision. This leads to a much more accurate fit and better overall performance, especially for those who have complex vision needs or irregular eye shapes.
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.
