Michigan's Contact Lens Specialists

Conditions We Treat

Many of our patients arrive after being told “there’s nothing more we can do.” Complex corneas and severe ocular-surface disease are exactly what we specialize in — using custom scleral lenses and advanced specialty lens designs to restore clear, comfortable vision when glasses and standard contacts no longer work. Select your condition below to learn how we can help.

Keratoconus

Progressive corneal thinning that distorts vision — from corneal cross-linking to custom scleral lenses.

Irregular Astigmatism

When the cornea's uneven shape scatters light and glasses can't fully correct it.

Pellucid Marginal Degeneration

A rare thinning of the lower cornea, often mistaken for keratoconus.

Corneal Ectasia

A weakening and forward bulging of the cornea that blurs and distorts vision.

Post-LASIK Ectasia

Irregular corneas or ectasia that develop after refractive surgery.

Post-Corneal Transplant

Sharp, comfortable vision when a transplant leaves the cornea irregular.

Severe Dry Eye Disease

All-day relief when drops and standard lenses are no longer enough.

Sjögren's Syndrome

Lasting comfort for the profound dryness of this autoimmune condition.

Graft-vs-Host Disease (GVHD)

Relief for ocular GVHD after a bone-marrow transplant.

Hard-to-Fit & Lens Intolerance

Custom solutions when standard contacts have never felt right.

Neurotrophic Keratitis

A cornea that has lost its sensation — protected and healed with custom scleral lenses.

Corneal Dystrophies

Inherited clouding of the cornea — custom scleral lenses restore clearer, more comfortable vision.

Corneal Scarring

See clearly through a scarred cornea — scleral lenses build a smooth new optical surface.

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome

Chronic dry eye and surface scarring from SJS — soothed and protected with therapeutic scleral lenses.
