A patient who underwent Radial Keratotomy in the 1990s found himself grappling with the long-term consequences of this once-popular surgery. The procedure, which involved making incisions in the cornea to correct myopia, left him with a corneal structure that could not tolerate traditional soft contact lenses, complicating his quest for clear vision.
To address his unique needs, we fitted him with a scleral lens. This type of lens is beneficial for post-surgical eyes because it vaults over the entire corneal surface, avoiding direct contact with the sensitive and irregular cornea. It provides not only comfort but also the much-needed stability that conventional lenses could not offer.
The scleral lens delivered remarkable results—clear, stable 20/20 vision that lasts throughout the day. This success has enabled him to enjoy a quality of life similar to what he had before his vision complications, with uninterrupted visual clarity.
For those who have had similar surgical experiences and struggle with visual stability, scleral lenses might be the solution. Reach out to explore how this custom-fit option can bring back clarity and stability to your vision.
