Introduction to Wavefront Guided Scleral Lenses For patients with complex corneas, such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, ectasia, corneal transplants, after LASIK, and more, scleral lenses are lifesavers! They can provide comfort and improved vision when all other contact lens options have failed. However, for some patients, even those with 20/20 vision, the quality of […]

Understanding Keratoconus: An Overview of the Eye Disease Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of your cornea, the clear front surface of your eye.
