Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, leading to distorted and blurred vision.

Specialty Lens Benefits:

• Improved visual clarity
• Reduced ghosting and glare
• Better contrast sensitivity

Irregular Corneas

Patients with irregular corneal surfaces may experience distorted vision that cannot be fully corrected with regular spectacles.

Causes May Include:

• Corneal scars
• Post-LASIK changes
• Corneal degeneration
• Eye injuries

Severe Dry Eye

Certain specialty lenses, especially scleral lenses, help maintain moisture around the cornea and improve comfort.

High Astigmatism

Patients with moderate to high astigmatism may benefit from specialty lenses designed for stable and precise optical correction.
