Have you been told “just get used to it” when struggling with uncomfortable contacts, blurry vision, or endless trial-and-error fittings for keratoconus?
If so, you’re not alone — and it’s no wonder many patients feel discouraged. Keratoconus can make even simple daily activities feel impossible. But here’s the good news: with the right technology and care, you don’t have to live that way anymore.
At our Albuquerque clinic, we specialize in custom scleral lenses designed specifically for keratoconus. These lenses aren’t one-size-fits-all — they’re made to match the unique shape of your eye, offering comfort and clarity that standard lenses often can’t deliver.
Why Standard Lenses Often Fail Keratoconus Patients
Keratoconus changes the cornea, causing it to thin and bulge into an irregular shape. Traditional glasses and contact lenses simply can’t correct this irregularity. Even “off-the-shelf” scleral lenses may not provide the right fit, leaving patients stuck with:
- Blurry or unstable vision
- Lenses that constantly pop out or shift
- Painful, uncomfortable wear
- Frustration from multiple failed fittings
We believe you deserve better. That’s why we take a truly customized approach.
The Custom Scleral Lens Difference
Every keratoconus eye is unique and so is our process. Instead of fitting you with generic lenses, we design yours from the ground up using advanced technology:
- Pentacam 3D Mapping
We scan your cornea in detail, capturing its exact shape and irregularities.
- Wave Contact Lens Software
This data is used to digitally design your lens with precision.
- 8-Quadrant Customization
Instead of treating your eye like a perfect sphere, we fine-tune the fit in eight different zones for maximum comfort and clarity.
The result? Lenses that often feel comfortable from the very first fitting, no long adjustment, no endless re-makes.
What You Can Expect with Custom Sclerals
Patients who switch to fully customized scleral lenses often tell us it feels like a turning point in their lives. Benefits include:
- Lasting Comfort
Lenses rest on the sclera (the white of your eye), avoiding sensitive corneal nerves.
- Clear, Stable Vision
The custom fit smooths out irregularities for sharp vision all day.
- Renewed Confidence
From driving at night to reading comfortably, patients regain the freedom they thought was lost.s.
