Scleral Contact Lens Fittings in Reseda, CA
Personalized Eye Care for Complex Vision Needs
Finding comfortable vision correction isn't always straightforward when you have keratoconus or another irregular corneal condition. Scleral lenses are designed for eyes that need more than conventional eyeglasses or contact lenses can provide.
At Valley Optometry Eyecare, we provide contact lens exams for patients throughout Reseda and neighboring San Fernando Valley communities. Our eye doctors take the time to evaluate your eyes, discuss your visual goals, and recommend a solution tailored to your needs.
How Keratoconus Affects
Your Vision
Keratoconus is a progressive condition that changes the shape of the cornea, preventing light from focusing properly on the retina. As the cornea becomes more irregular, vision may gradually blur or distort, making everyday activities more challenging.
Symptoms often include:
Blurred or distorted vision
Frequent prescription changes
Glare and halos around lights
Increased light sensitivity
Ghosting or double vision
Regular comprehensive eye exams allow us to monitor changes in your vision and recommend treatment as your eyes evolve.
The Benefits of Scleral Lenses
Unlike standard contact lenses, scleral lenses rest on the sclera rather than the cornea. By vaulting over the irregular surface of the cornea, they create a smooth optical surface that often provides sharper, more consistent vision.
The fluid layer beneath the lens also helps keep the eye hydrated throughout the day, making scleral lenses an excellent option for many patients with severe dry eye and irregular corneas.
What to Expect During Your Fitting
Every eye is different, which is why scleral lenses require a customized fitting process.
More Than a Keratoconus Solution
Although keratoconus is one of the most common reasons patients choose scleral lenses, they can also provide excellent vision correction for other complex eye conditions.
Our eye doctors may recommend scleral lenses for:
- Corneal ectasia
- Corneal scarring
- Corneal transplants
- Post-surgical corneal irregularities
- Severe dry eye disease
We'll recommend the lens design that's best suited to your individual eye health, prescription, and lifestyle.
