Managing Irregular Corneas With Specialty Lenses

When your cornea has an irregular shape, it can cause blurred or distorted vision that standard eyeglasses or soft contact lenses can’t always correct. This condition, often caused by issues like keratoconus, corneal scarring, or post-surgical changes, requires a more personalized solution. Our eye doctor in Diamond Bar provides customized care for patients with irregular corneas using specialty contact lenses designed to restore clear, comfortable vision.

Understanding Irregular Corneas

 

The cornea plays a crucial role in focusing light onto the retina. When it becomes misshapen - whether from thinning (as in keratoconus), surgery, or trauma - the light entering the eye bends unevenly, leading to vision problems that standard correction methods can’t fix. Patients may notice ghosting, glare, or frequent prescription changes, all signs that specialized care is needed.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses for Irregular Corneas

 

There are multiple types of specialty contact lenses in Diamond Bar available to address unique corneal needs:

•           Scleral Lenses: These large-diameter lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (white of the eye), creating a smooth optical surface and providing superior comfort.

•           Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These firm lenses help reshape how light enters the eye, delivering sharper vision for certain irregularities.

Each of these options is tailored to your specific corneal shape, ensuring the best vision and comfort possible.

The Importance of a Comprehensive Contact Lens Exam and Fitting

 

Fitting specialty lenses requires advanced technology and expertise. During a contact lens exam and fitting, our eye doctor uses detailed corneal mapping to assess the shape and health of your cornea. This data guides the design of your custom lenses to ensure a precise, comfortable fit. Regular follow-up visits help fine-tune your lenses as your eyes adjust and ensure ongoing eye health.

Our practice combines advanced diagnostic equipment with personalized care to help patients achieve their best vision - even with complex corneal conditions. We’re proud to offer tailored lens solutions that go beyond standard eye care, giving you both clarity and confidence in your sight.
