For patients with keratoconus, achieving clear and stable vision can be challenging. Glasses and soft contact lenses often fail to provide adequate correction as the cornea becomes more irregular. This is why scleral lenses are considered one of the most effective treatment options for keratoconus.

At Eye In Vision in Orlando, we specialize in fitting scleral lenses for patients with keratoconus and other irregular corneal conditions.

Why Traditional Options Often Don’t Work

In early stages, glasses or soft contact lenses may help. However, as keratoconus progresses:

  • Vision becomes increasingly distorted

  • Prescriptions change frequently

  • Standard lenses no longer provide clear vision

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses may be used, but many patients find them uncomfortable.

What Makes Scleral Lenses Different?

Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contact lenses and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye), rather than the cornea.

This design allows the lens to:

  • Vault over the irregular cornea

  • Create a smooth optical surface

  • Hold a fluid reservoir that improves comfort

Benefits of Scleral Lenses

Patients with keratoconus often experience:

  • Sharper and more stable vision

  • Reduced glare and halos

  • Improved comfort compared to RGP lenses

  • Better performance for daily activities

Many patients describe scleral lenses as life-changing.

What to Expect During a Fitting

A scleral lens fitting is more advanced than a standard contact lens exam and may include:

  • Corneal topography mapping

  • Trial lens fitting

  • Custom lens design

  • Follow-up visits to fine-tune fit and vision

At Eye In Vision, we take a personalized approach to ensure optimal results.
