Multifocal Scleral Lenses for Presbyopia
Presbyopia — the gradual, universal loss of the eye's ability to focus up close, usually becoming noticeable from the mid-40s onward — doesn't stop affecting patients who wear scleral lenses...
Scleral Lenses for High Hypermetropia
Hypermetropia, or long-sightedness, is usually well corrected with glasses or standard soft lenses. At higher levels, though, some patients find standard lens options less comfortable or less visually consistent —...
Scleral Lenses for High Myopia
Most short-sightedness is corrected easily with glasses or standard soft contact lenses. For some patients with high levels of myopia, though, standard lens options don't sit as stably on the...

Corneal cross-linking (CXL) is a procedure used to stabilise progressive keratoconus by strengthening the corneal collagen, halting or slowing further thinning. What CXL doesn't do is correct the irregular vision...
Scleral Lenses for Post-LASIK Corneal Ectasia

20/20 Vision with Scleral Lenses: What’s Realistic?
