What Are Custom Impression-Based Lenses?
Impression-Based Scleral Lenses are the most personalized lens solution available. Rather than relying only on scans, we use a direct physical mold of your eye’s surface, capturing every unique contour and irregularity. This mold becomes the blueprint for a one-of-a-kind lens that fits your eye like a glove.
This approach eliminates guesswork or multiple trial lenses and delivers unmatched comfort and optical precision.
Benefits of Impression-Based & HOA-Correcting Lenses
-
Superior fit and stability even with highly irregular corneas
-
Reduced distortion and visual aberrations
-
Improved comfort and wear time

These lenses are especially valuable for patients who have tried other lens designs unsuccessfully or who have complex corneal surfaces due to keratoconus or prior surgery.
