After living with visual distortions resulting from a corneal transplant 23 years ago, our patient struggled to find a corrective solution that could offer clear vision. Despite various attempts with glasses, the best vision attainable was only 20/70, significantly affecting their daily life and activities.
We recommended a customized scleral lens, a specialized type of contact lens that differs from traditional lenses. Scleral lenses are larger in diameter, designed to vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the white part of the eye, thereby avoiding direct contact with the transplanted cornea. This unique feature helps to minimize irritation and provides a stable fit, making it ideal for post-surgical eyes with irregularities.
The results were transformative. The scleral lens provided the patient with clear, comfortable 20/20 vision, a remarkable improvement from their previous visual limitations. This enhancement not only improved their visual acuity but also their overall quality of life, enabling them to engage in activities with renewed confidence and ease.
For individuals with corneal transplants experiencing similar challenges, scleral lenses might offer the vision correction needed to see the world more clearly once again. Reach out to explore how this custom-fit option can enhance your vision and life.
