What Are Irregular Corneas?
An irregular cornea is a condition where the cornea (the clear, dome-shaped surface of the eye) has an abnormal shape, leading to visual distortions and decreased visual acuity. Common causes include:
- Keratoconus : A progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape.
- Post-Surgical Changes : Irregularities following corneal surgeries such as LASIK or corneal transplants.
- Corneal Scarring : Scarring due to injury, infection, or other conditions that alter the corneal surface.
- Ectasia : A condition where the cornea becomes weak and bulges, often following refractive surgery.
Types of Super Specialty Contact Lenses for Irregular Cornea
We provide a range of super specialty contact lenses designed to meet the specific needs of patients with irregular corneas:
Themed Heading Scleral Lenses
- Scleral lenses are large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye), providing a stable, smooth surface for improved vision.
- Increased comfort, superior vision correction, and reduced lens movement.
- Effective for patients with advanced keratoconus or severe corneal irregularities.
Themed Heading Custom Soft Lenses
- Soft contact lenses customized to fit the unique shape of an irregular cornea, providing a more comfortable and flexible fit.
- Increased comfort and adaptability for patients who cannot tolerate RGP lenses.
- Suitable for patients with less severe corneal irregularities or those who prefer a softer lens option.
Themed Heading Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses
- GP lenses are made from durable materials that provide clear vision by creating a smooth, even surface over the irregular cornea.
- Enhanced visual acuity, durability, and ease of maintenance.
- Ideal for patients with moderate to severe corneal irregularities.
Themed Heading Hybrid Lenses
- Hybrid lenses combine a central RGP section with a soft lens skirt, providing the sharp vision of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.
- Enhanced comfort and clear vision with a more stable fit.
- Suitable for patients who experience discomfort with traditional RGP lenses.
Themed Heading Piggyback Lenses
- A combination of a soft contact lens worn underneath a rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens. The soft lens provides comfort, while the RGP lens offers visual clarity.
- Enhanced comfort of soft lenses with the visual acuity of RGP lenses, reducing lens discomfort and improving stability.
- Effective for patients with irregular corneas who find traditional RGP lenses uncomfortable.
Themed Heading Multifocal Lenses
- Contact lenses designed to provide clear vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far) using various lens designs (e.g., concentric rings or progressive gradients).
- Convenience of single lenses for multiple vision needs, eliminating the need for separate reading glasses.
- Ideal for patients with irregular corneas who also require correction for presbyopia or other vision changes

Generally Asked Questions
What are scleral contact lenses, and who are they for?
Large-diameter scleral contact lenses are designed to rest on the sclera and vault over the cornea, creating a tear-filled reservoir. These scleral contact lenses ensure increased comfort and better vision for people who have corneal irregularities, serious cases of dry eyes, keratoconus, or complications subsequent to surgical interventions.
How do scleral lenses differ from regular contact lenses?
While regular contact lenses rest on the cornea, the scleral ones rest on the sclera and vault over the cornea. Such design creates comfort, stability, and hydration, more so for those with corneal irregularity or damage.
Are scleral lenses comfortable to wear?
Yes, scleral lenses are designed to be comfortable. Their bigger size and the tear reservoir they create help prevent irritation by keeping the eyes hydrated and are therefore suitable for sensitive eyes
How long can I wear scleral lenses each day?
Most persons can easily wear scleral lenses between 8 and 14 hours a day, but this is variable depending on your individual needs and eye health. Your eye-care professional will be able to give you specific guidelines for your situation.
What should I expect during the fitting process for scleral lenses?
The process of fitting includes a comprehensive eye examination, measurement of your cornea and sclera with complete accuracy, practice fitting by the sample lenses, and alteration in the lenses in order to fit them properly. Follow-up appointments make sure that the lenses will further fit well and your vision will remain sharp.
