Wearing Scleral Lenses But Still Not Seeing Clearly? Why New York Patients Travel to Maryland for Better Vision and Comfort
Helping Patients Who Still Struggle With Vision or Comfort – Even in Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses have become the gold standard for keratoconus treatment — and for good reason. They vault over the irregular cornea, provide a smooth optical surface, and restore functional vision for many patients. But what if you’re already wearing scleral lenses and still aren’t happy with your vision or comfort?
At Keratoconus Specialists of Maryland, we specialize in helping patients from New York and across the U.S. who have been fit with scleral lenses elsewhere but are still not seeing clearly or comfortably.
When Scleral Lenses Aren’t Enough (Yet)
Many patients come to us frustrated, having spent thousands on scleral lenses, multiple fittings, and follow-ups, only to still struggle with:
Blurred or fluctuating vision- Glare, halos, or ghosting
- Lens discomfort or poor wear time
- Disappointment after being told “this is the best it gets”
But the problem isn’t always the lens type — it’s often the fit, the design, or a lack of customization based on your unique corneal shape and optical needs.
How We Help Patients Already Wearing Scleral Lenses
Unlike most providers, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to scleral lenses. Our doctors:
- Review your current lens designs and prior measurements
- Perform in-depth diagnostics including topography, aberrometry, and scleral mapping
- Customize or redesign your lens using cutting-edge technologies
- Take time to ensure proper fit, tear exchange, and visual performance
We routinely help patients who have been told to “just get used to it” finally achieve the vision and comfort they were promised.
Advanced Scleral Lens Technologies We Offer
Whether you’re wearing standard designs or have never tried scleral lenses, we offer: These options allow us to go far beyond what standard scleral lenses can achieve.
Thanks to major advancements in contact lens technology, we now offer a range of custom-designed lenses that often outperform traditional RGPs in every category—comfort, clarity, stability, and overall quality of life. These include:
✅ Scleral Lenses – Rest on the white of the eye, vault over the cornea, and create a fluid reservoir that improves comfort and vision.
✅ Custom Wavefront Scleral Lenses – Correct high-order aberrations (HOAs), reducing glare, halos, and distortion.
✅ Scan-Based Scleral Lenses – Digitally mapped to match the eye’s topography with unparalleled precision.
✅ PROSE Lenses – Medically indicated scleral devices that support healing and vision.
✅ Impression-Based Scleral Lenses – Created from an impression mold of the eye for a truly personalized fit.
Why Many Scleral Lens Wearers Still Come to Us
Scleral lenses are often considered the best option for keratoconus — but that doesn’t mean every scleral lens delivers the results it should. If you’re still struggling with your vision or comfort, the problem is likely the fit, the design, or the lack of true customization.
With the right technology and expertise, we’re able to give patients better, more reliable outcomes. Benefits we routinely help patients achieve include:
🌀 Reduction or elimination of high-order aberrations (HOAs)
🌙 Improved night driving and contrast sensitivity
👁️ Greater lens comfort for longer daily wear
💡 Clearer, more natural vision with less glare, ghosting, or halos
We routinely help patients who’ve seen multiple eye doctors and are still unhappy with their vision, even those told there are no better options.
