Scleral Lenses


MSD AND JUPITER LENS

Scleral lenses were mentioned in lenses used under keratoconus but they are used in many other situations also. The Mini Scleral Design allows for the creation of a smooth surface to replace the irregular corneal surface, thereby giving good stable vision and automatically correcting for most astigmatism. This lens provides excellent patient comfort and oxygen permeability to the cornea during wear. The MSD is suitable for the majority of pathology cases ranging from advanced keratoconus to post lasik corneas. For irregular corneas on which fitting a regular contact lens has not lead to optimal results, the MSD lens is a great option.

Patients we have fit with these lenses have had keratoconus, dry eyes, corneal degeneration, and post refractive surgery (post lasik and post RK). The objective to fitting this lens is to vault it over the cornea. When inserting the lens, the lens is filled with saline or artificial tears. The saline or artificial tears then stay under the lens while being worn acting as a cushion and protectant to the cornea. The rigid surface creates a new refracting surface providing excellent vision when other options are not available. Although the lens is quite large, comfort is excellent as the lens sits under both the upper and lower lid. This lens is often called the “miracle lens” since it allows patients to have good vision when no other means of correction worked!
