Treating Ocular Trauma with Specialty Contacts in Raleigh
- Where Advanced Technology Meets Compassionate Care
Ocular trauma encompasses a broad spectrum of injuries, ranging from mild abrasions to severe injuries that can lead to vision loss. Causes include accidents, foreign object penetration, blunt force trauma, and chemical exposure. Swift and appropriate intervention is crucial to minimize damage and improve outcomes.
Our doctors are experienced in cases of ocular trauma, and Raleigh Contact Lens Institute features advanced technology, longer than normal exam slots, and one-on-one interaction with the doctor. A common treatment option in cases of ocular trauma is a scleral contact lens.
We utilize advanced and specialized technology which collects up to 240,000 unique data points to design a fully customized scleral contact lens. Customized scleral contact lenses work well when ocular trauma has occurred, because the lens vaults entirely over the cornea without adding any pressure to it, while allowing the cornea to remain hydrated for ultimate healing and comfort.
Benefits of Scleral Lenses for Eyes With Ocular Trauma
- Corneal Protection - Scleral lenses cover a larger portion of the eye, providing a protective barrier against environmental irritants and reducing the risk of further injury
- Pain Relief - The liquid reservoir between the lens and the cornea provides a soothing and lubricating effect, offering relief to patients experiencing pain or discomfort
- Visual Rehabilitation - Scleral lenses can help address irregular corneal surfaces caused by trauma, improving visual acuity for those with distorted or damaged corneas
- Stability and Comfort- Scleral lenses provide a stable fit, ensuring comfort and reducing irritation during the healing process
