Keratoconus Treatment

If you have been diagnosed with keratoconus and are struggling with blurred or distorted vision, specialty scleral lenses may restore the clarity and stability you need.

At SunTime Vision Specialist, we provide advanced keratoconus treatment using custom scleral lenses, mini scleral lenses, and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses — fitted by a UK Board-Certified Contact Lens Specialist and Fellow of the British Contact Lens Association (FBCLA).

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea thins and gradually bulges into a cone-like shape.
This irregular corneal shape causes:

• Blurred or distorted vision
• Ghosting or double vision
• Increased light sensitivity
• Frequent prescription changes
• Poor vision even with glasses

As keratoconus progresses, traditional glasses and soft contact lenses often fail to provide adequate correction.

While keratoconus cannot be reversed, vision can be significantly improved with specialty contact lenses.

At SunTime Vision Specialist, we offer:

Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus

Scleral lenses are large-diameter custom lenses that vault over the irregular cornea and rest on the sclera (white part of the eye).
They:

• Create a smooth optical surface
• Correct distorted vision
• Improve stability
• Provide superior comfort
• Protect the corneal surface

Many keratoconus patients achieve 20/25 vision or better with properly fitted scleral lenses.

Mini Scleral Lenses

Mini scleral lenses provide similar benefits to full scleral lenses but with a slightly smaller diameter, depending on corneal shape and severity.
 

Custom RGP (Rigid Gas Permeable) Lenses

For early or mild keratoconus, custom RGP lenses can:

• Improve sharpness
• Reduce distortion
• Provide high-definition clarity

Lens selection depends on the severity and corneal mapping results.
 

Accurate diagnosis and monitoring are essential.
We use:

• Advanced corneal topography imaging
• High-resolution corneal mapping
• Tear film evaluation
• Detailed ocular surface assessment

This allows precise lens design tailored to your corneal shape.

Specialty keratoconus management requires advanced clinical expertise.
Our clinic is led by:

• UK Board-Certified Contact Lens Specialist
• Fellow of the British Contact Lens Association (FBCLA)

This reflects advanced training in complex corneal and specialty lens management.
We combine:

• Precision scleral lens fitting systems
• Extensive experience managing keratoconus cases
• Personalized lens customization
• Long-term monitoring and follow-up care

Our focus is not just vision correction — but long-term corneal health and stability.

Step 1: Comprehensive Eye Examination
Assessment of corneal condition and progression.

Step 2: Corneal Topography & Mapping
Detailed imaging to evaluate corneal shape and irregularity.

Step 3: Diagnostic Scleral Lens Trial
Trial lenses are used to assess fit and vision quality.

Step 4: Custom Lens Manufacturing
Lenses are manufactured specifically for your eye.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Fine Adjustments
Multiple visits ensure optimal comfort and clarity.
Complex keratoconus fittings typically require 2–4 visits.

Early diagnosis is critical.
Warning signs include:

• Rapid changes in prescription
• Increasing astigmatism
• Poor night vision
• Blurred vision despite new glasses

If you suspect keratoconus, schedule a comprehensive evaluation.
