Restoring Visual Clarity to Irregular Corneas
Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into an irregular cone shape, causing severe distortion that standard spectacles cannot correct. We provide highly specialised, custom-engineered scleral contact lenses that vault completely over the fragile cornea, creating a perfectly smooth liquid-filled optical surface to restore crisp, stable vision safely.

Managing Keratoconus requires an elevated level of clinical precision and patient education. Because standard lenses rest on the cornea, they can cause painful abrasions or accelerate scarring on an irregular eye. Scleral lenses completely change this dynamic by bypassing the cornea entirely. Our detailed custom fitting process ensures optimal oxygen transmission, crisp visual acuity, and long-term corneal safety, allowing Keratoconus patients from Port Shepstone to Margate to regain their visual independence.
Scleral Lenses FAQ
Glasses cannot correct the irregular astigmatism caused by a cone-shaped cornea. Scleral lenses create a brand-new, smooth surface over the eye to bend light properly.
Yes, they are highly comfortable because they rest on the sclera, which has far fewer nerve endings than the sensitive cornea, and contain a built-in fluid reservoir.
With proper care, sterilisation, and handling, a high-quality pair of custom scleral lenses can comfortably last between 1 to 2 years.
Yes, we provide complete, step-by-step clinical training sessions to ensure you are fully confident inserting, removing, and sterilising your lenses safely.
