Keratoconus | Harrisburg | Carolina Eye Doctors

Carolina Eye Doctors are Know Nationwide for Keratoconus Care

Keratoconus is a progressive disease that causes the clear window at the front of the eye (the cornea) to become thin and bow outwards, causing poor vision. This chronic, debilitating condition can be challenging to manage.

Our doctors have spent their careers helping patients find refuge through advanced techniques like EyeprintPRO and Ovitz®. Lecturing both nationally and internationally on these topics, we have guided patients and doctors alike, while adopting the most advanced applications to relieve the burden of poor vision caused by keratoconus.

A Closer Look at Keratoconus

Keratoconus can be complicated to manage, but rest assured Carolina Eye Doctors has all the tools to provide the best care and relief possible. Keratoconus often develops in the late teenage years or early 20s. It causes irregularities of the cornea, making vision correction with glasses difficult.

Our team can help diagnose keratoconus through a comprehensive eye exam with corneal topography and Ovitz®. With our specialty in medical contact lenses, we can find a solution that is right for you.

Our Medical Contact Lenses

No Case is too complex! We offer a variety of solutions designed to accommodate challenging eye conditions like yours.

EyePrintPRO

The EyePrintPRO is a transparent prosthetic scleral device made from an actual impression of the eye and is designed with the exact contours of your eyes, providing clear vision and comfort through custom contact lenses. The EyePrintPRO captures the unique irregularities of your eyes and can be used to fit custom lenses when other lenses and devices fail.

For more information, take a look at our EyePrintPRO treatment page.

Ovitz®

The Ovitz® system helps correct higher-order aberrations (HOAs), which are complex distortions affecting your vision that can increase with age or are associated with cornea diseases like keratoconus and post-LASIK complications.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral contact lenses are an excellent option for those who can’t wear traditional contacts due to issues like dry eye disease and keratoconus.

Scleral lenses are different from traditional contacts. These lenses feature a larger design and rest on the sclera, the white of your eyes. Scleral lenses create a fluid reservoir and vault over the cornea to provide extra hydration and breathability.

Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid contact lenses have a gas-permeable center surrounded by a silicone hydrogel skirt. Hybrid lenses correct refractive errors like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Hybrid lenses also help correct keratoconus.

NovaKone® Custom Soft Lenses for Keratoconus

NovaKone® custom soft lenses provide an advanced design and flexible parameters to help provide fitting control. A central base curve design is used for optimal optical alignment over the steep central cornea. A variable lens center thickness helps to neutralize irregular astigmatism this fitting curve helps to ensure lens movement and physical fit.
