At-Home Vision Screening

Are your glasses or traditional soft contacts failing to provide clear, comfortable sight? Answer these questions to determine if you may benefit from a specialty lens consultation.

Self-Screening Guide

4 Key Indicators of Irregular Corneas

Ghosting & Monocular Double Vision

Seeing multiple overlapping outlines or shadowed edges around letters and lights, even with one eye closed.

Starbursts & Halos Around Lights

Severe glare, halos, or streaming starburst patterns around headlights and streetlights during nighttime driving.

Frequent Prescription Shifts

Glasses prescriptions that continually change within a few months, or vision that never feels 100% sharp through glasses.

Severe Eye Dryness & Burning

Enduring midday burning, redness, or contact lens intolerance where soft contacts dry out or fall out.

What Your Symptoms Mean

If you experience two or more of these symptoms, standard optical refraction with eyeglasses is usually insufficient because eyeglasses cannot correct irregular corneal curvature or Higher-Order Aberrations.

Custom scleral contact lenses create a brand new, perfectly smooth optical surface over your cornea, eliminating optical distortion and restoring crisp, comfortable vision.
