Clarity Is Still Possible &With Keratoconus
If you’ve been told your eyes are “hard to fit,” or your vision never feels quite sharp, there’s a good chance keratoconus is part of the story. At Valley Optometry Eyecare, we diagnose and treat keratoconus in Los Angeles with precision diagnostics and custom scleral lenses, available at our clinics in Granada Hills, Reseda, and North Hollywood.
What Is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea becomes thinner and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular curvature distorts light as it enters the eye, leading to blurry, double, or ghosted vision that standard glasses and soft contact lenses often can’t correct.
What to Watch For
Keratoconus typically begins in the late teens or early twenties and may progress slowly over time. You may notice:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Sensitivity to light or glare
- Frequent prescription changes
- Poor night vision
- Difficulty finding glasses or contacts that feel “just right”
These symptoms can sometimes be mistaken for routine vision issues, until they’re not.
Our Optometrists Focus on Keratoconus Care in San Fernando Valley
We use advanced corneal topography, OCT, and slit-lamp exams to assess the shape, thickness, and health of your cornea. This gives us a precise map of the eye’s surface and allows us to confirm the diagnosis even in early or subtle cases.
Where Precision Meets Advanced Vision Care
Dr. Andy Kongsakul has advanced training in corneal care and scleral lens fitting, and our practice is known for helping patients who’ve been told elsewhere that “nothing fits.” We work closely with keratoconus patients across all stages, from newly diagnosed to those struggling with comfort or vision clarity in their current lenses.
We fit scleral lenses for keratoconus with custom mapping.
Scleral Lenses & Custom Contacts
The gold standard for keratoconus management is the scleral lens, a large-diameter lens that vaults over the cornea and rests on the white part of the eye for a stable, comfortable fit. These lenses:
