Advanced Scleral Lens Design and Scleral Profiling

Dr. Joseph DiGiorgio wrote about scleral profiling technology and its role in custom prosthetic scleral contact lens design for Review of Cornea & Contact Lenses (RCCL), a respected clinical publication for optometrists and contact lens professionals.

Scleral contact lenses are medically necessary prosthetic devices that can help restore vision and improve comfort for patients with irregular corneas and complex ocular surface conditions. These lenses may be used for patients with keratoconus, post-RK corneas, corneal ectasia, severe dry eye, Sjögren’s-related dry eye, and other conditions that make standard contact lenses difficult or unsuccessful.

At Vision Source – Orland Park, we use advanced scleral lens technology, including Eaglet Eye Surface Profiling (ESP), to better understand the shape of each patient’s eye and guide highly customized scleral lens designs.
