Keratoconus can make everyday tasks, like reading, driving, or recognizing faces, challenging due to irregular corneal shape and blurred vision. Michigan Contact Lens specializes in providing custom scleral lenses that offer exceptional visual improvement and comfort for people living with keratoconus.
Whether you have been newly diagnosed or have struggled for years to find the right correction, our goal is to help you see clearly again and live comfortably.
How Scleral Lenses Help Improve Vision in Keratoconus
Unlike traditional contact lenses that rest on the cornea, scleral lenses vault over the cornea entirely and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera). This unique design provides several advantages for keratoconus patients:
- Restores a smooth optical surface – The fluid-filled layer beneath the lens masks corneal irregularities, giving you sharper, more stable vision.
- Improves visual acuity – Many patients achieve vision close to 20/20 even when glasses or standard lenses no longer work.
- Reduces glare and halos – By evening out corneal distortions, scleral lenses can dramatically reduce nighttime glare and light sensitivity.
- Enhances comfort – Because the lenses do not touch the cornea, they are often much more comfortable for sensitive or dry eyes.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Michigan Contact Lens takes a fully personalized approach to keratoconus care. Every cornea is unique, so each scleral lens is custom-designed using advanced corneal mapping technology.
Under the care of Dr. Shira Kresch, a leading specialist in specialty contact lenses, we focus on achieving both maximum visual clarity and long-term comfort.
Our evaluation process includes:
- Comprehensive corneal imaging – Using topography and tomography to assess your exact corneal shape and irregularities.
- Precision lens fitting – Each scleral lens is tailored for your specific degree of keratoconus, ensuring optimal stability and tear exchange.
- Follow-up adjustments – We closely monitor your progress to fine-tune lens parameters for the best visual outcome.
