Scleral lenses can help individuals with irregularly shaped corneas, such as those with keratoconus, Post-corneal transplant, Severe dry eye, Corneal tear repair cases, and Scaring.

Onefit Med scleral lenses, correct vision through several mechanisms:

Smooth Refractive Surface: Scleral lenses are rigid and provide a smooth and uniform refractive surface over the cornea. This helps to compensate for irregularities in the corneal shape such as Keratoconus, Post-corneal transplant, Severe dry eye, Corneal tear repair cases, and Scaring by improving the focusing of light onto the retina.

Optical Correction: The lens material and design are chosen to address specific vision issues, such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism. The lenses are customized based on the individual's prescription and visual needs.

Tear Reservoir: Scleral lenses create a fluid-filled space between the lens and the cornea, acting as a tear reservoir. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals with dry eyes, as it helps to keep the cornea well-hydrated throughout the day.

Stability and Comfort: The large size of scleral lenses allows them to fit more securely on the eye, reducing the likelihood of movement during blinking. This stability can contribute to increased comfort and consistent vision.

Irregular Cornea Correction: For individuals with conditions like keratoconus or post-corneal transplant, where the cornea is irregularly shaped, scleral lenses provide a stable and well-fitted surface, compensating for the irregularities and improving vision.

The correction of vision with scleral lenses is highly individualized. The fitting process involves precise measurements of the eye's shape and characteristics, as well as consideration of the individual's visual requirements to ensure optimal vision correction and comfort.

Dry Eyes: The space between the lens and the cornea acts as a reservoir for tears, providing relief for people with dry eyes.

Higher Prescriptions: Scleral lenses can be suitable for individuals with high prescriptions or astigmatism.

Globally Uneven Refractive Surfaces: In cases where the shape of the eye surface is not consistent, scleral lenses can provide a more stable and comfortable fit.
