The GVR Scleral Lens and Keratoconus

Keratoconus is a non-inflammatory ectasia or protrusion of the cornea. Over a period of years (from a few years to 5 or more years) the cornea tends to thin and steepen. As the cornea thins and steepens, the patient will experience a decrease in vision which can be mild or severe. For mild to moderate degrees of keratoconus, eyeglasses or soft contact lenses may be able to provide the patient with clear comfortable vision. However, in the more advanced cases of keratoconus, eyeglasses or soft contact lenses will not be able to provide the patient with clear vision. In addition, conventional gas permeable contact lenses may be able to provide clear vision but these lenses tend to be unstable on an advanced keratoconic cornea.

In the great majority of the patients that we see with advanced keratoconus, the outer cellular layer of the cornea known as the epithelium is compromised or
not intact. For this reason patients with advanced keratoconus will not be able to tolerate or support a soft, hybrid or conventional gas permeable lenses. With these
lens designs the vision may be acceptable but the comfort will not be. Also, the small gas permeable lenses may tend to pop out of the eye or have excess movement
causing discomfort and eye pain after a short wearing period.

I have Keratoconus, should I have a Transplant?

Thousands of keratoconus patients each year are advised by their eye doctors to get corneal transplant surgery (keratoplasty). The great majority of this patient population in reality would do quite well with properly fitted scleral lenses. Keratoplasty is not a “walk in the park.” There are real risks associated with this procedure. The following are the facts associated with keratoplasty:

1. Over 50% of those patients receiving corneal transplant surgery with need scleral lenses in order to achieve visual acuity greater than 20/50. Contrary to what one might think, these lenses are comfortable and very easy to wear.

2. It will take about 1 year for vision to stabilize.
