Optimizing Vision for Individuals with Post-LASIK Ectasia
Post-LASIK ectasia is a rare complication that occurs when the cornea progressively thins and bulges after LASIK surgery. This change in corneal shape can cause vision distortions such as astigmatism and nearsightedness, making it difficult to achieve clear vision with regular glasses or standard contact lenses. At The Raleigh Contact Lens Institute, we specialize in treating irregular corneas caused by post-LASIK ectasia with advanced specialty contact lenses designed for sharper, more comfortable vision.
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Increased light sensitivity (glare/halos)
- Difficulty with night vision
- Frequent changes in glasses prescription
At The Raleigh Contact Lens Institute, our doctors use advanced technology and years of experience to evaluate a wide range of treatment options — and when needed, we can also refer patients to a trusted Ophthalmologist.
As mentioned above, scleral lenses are not always the preferred treatment option, but if/when they are, listed below are the benefits to scleral lenses in post-LASIK ectasia patients.
- Adaptability – Scleral lenses are versatile and can be tailored to address various vision issues, including astigmatism and higher-order aberrations
- Reduced Glare and Halos – Post-LASIK ectasia patients may sometimes experience glare or halos, especially in low-light conditions, and scleral lenses can minimize these effects.
- Improvement in Dry Eye Symptoms – Scleral lenses vault over the cornea, creating a reservoir of hydrating fluid that keeps the eye moisturized throughout the day. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with dry eyes, a common concern with post-LASIK ectasia.
- Customized Fit – Each pair of scleral lenses is custom-fitted to the unique contours of your eyes, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit. This personalized approach enhances not only visual acuity but also overall comfort
