Keep reading to learn about our advanced services.

Keratoconus and Corneal Irregularity

Keratoconus is an eye condition where the normally round cornea thins and becomes cone-shaped, resulting in blurred and distorted vision. Corneal irregularities are abnormalities in the shape of the cornea that can also impair vision. Since the cornea is responsible for focusing light to the retina, any distortions in an irregular cornea can significantly impact visual acuity. Advanced Family Eye Care understands keratoconus and will take extra time to evaluate your vision needs.

Conical Lenses and Scleral Lenses

For those with keratoconus or corneal irregularities, rigid gas permeable (RGP) conical lenses can help improve vision by compensating for the abnormal corneal shape. These lenses have a conical design to match the shape of your cornea. Scleral lenses are larger RGP lenses that rest on the sclera, or white part of the eye, vaulting over the entire cornea. They create a tear reservoir to neutralize corneal irregularities. Our optometrist will determine if conical or scleral lenses are the best option for your eyes.

Profilometer Instrument for Custom Scleral Lens Fittings

To fit scleral lenses, Advanced Family Eye Care uses a profilometer, which captures detailed measurements of your entire eye. This allows us to design completely customized scleral lenses just for your eyes. The profilometer ensures the lenses have the exact parameters needed for superior comfort and vision correction. Our optometrist will also evaluate the lens fit and make any adjustments to ensure optimal performance.
