Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

This irregular shape causes blurred and distorted vision, increased light sensitivity, and frequent changes in glasses or contact lens prescriptions.

While the exact cause isn’t fully known, keratoconus is believed to be linked to genetics, eye rubbing, allergies, and weakening of corneal tissue. It often begins in the teenage years or early adulthood and may slowly worsen over time.

Dr. Southaphanh specializes in managing keratoconus with scleral contact lenses.

These custom lenses vault over the irregular cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, providing remarkably clear vision and exceptional comfort. Many patients experience visual clarity and comfort they’ve never achieved with traditional contact lenses.

If you or a loved one has keratoconus, scleral lenses may be a life-changing option.
