For over a decade, I have been committed to providing life-changing vision solutions for those who have struggled with complex vision challenges. My journey began with a residency in Cornea, Ocular Surface Diseases, and Specialty Contact Lenses in 2012, where I first witnessed the often-overlooked struggles of patients with complex corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal transplants, post-LASIK ectasia, severe dry eye, and corneal scarring. These conditions can lead to severely distorted vision, glare, and difficulty with everyday tasks, like navigating the TV guide or driving at night. Watching patients settle for “good enough” vision ignited my passion for providing truly personalized solutions for those with hard-to-fit eyes. Determined to make a difference, I dedicated my career to pursuing the most innovative and effective treatments, developing expertise in customized solutions that ease their burden and restore both clarity and comfort.
This relentless pursuit of innovation ultimately led me to EyePrintPRO®, a revolutionary custom scleral lens and one of the most groundbreaking advancements in modern vision care. Designed for keratoconus, irregular corneas, and other vision-compromising conditions, EyePrintPRO® offers a truly customized solution for patients who have struggled with traditional scleral lenses. In 2013, I was honored to be among the first five doctors in the nation selected to implement this technology. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how EyePrintPRO® has transformed the lives of patients who had exhausted other options—providing them with unparalleled clarity, comfort, and stability.
What is EyePrintPRO?
EyePrintPRO® is a fully customized scleral prosthetic lens designed with advanced 3D impression technology to create a precise mold of the eye’s unique shape. This ensures a perfect fit, superior stability, and optimal vision correction. By accurately mapping the microscopic variations in corneal and scleral shape, EyePrintPRO® provides a breakthrough alternative to standard specialty contact lenses, helping individuals achieve unmatched comfort and clarity even in the most complex cases.
How Does EyePrintPRO Work?
EyePrintPRO is created from an impression of your eye—capturing every unique contour.The EyePrintPRO® process starts with a quick and comfortable impression of the eye, taking just two minutes per eye. This impression is then sent to a state-of-the-art lab, where advanced 3D scanning technology transforms it into a highly precise digital model. This model serves as the blueprint for designing a custom lens that precisely matches the eye’s unique contours, ensuring maximum comfort, stability, and exceptional vision correction.
How does EyePrintPRO differ from Regular Scleral Lenses?
One of the most common questions I get is: What is the difference between EyePrintPRO® and standard scleral lenses? While both options provide advanced vision correction for keratoconus, severe dry eye, and irregular astigmatism, EyePrintPRO® offers a fully customized solution designed specifically for each patient’s unique eye shape without limitations.
Traditional scleral lenses come in pre-determined sizes and require multiple trial fittings to find the closest match. While they can provide excellent vision and protection, they are still an approximation of the eye’s shape rather than a truly customized solution. Standard lenses are created from pre-set designs, limiting their ability to be adjusted or customized—not just for fit, but also for vision—making it difficult to accommodate every eye’s unique shape.
EyePrintPRO® takes customization to the next level, going beyond one-size-fits-all solutions to provide a truly personalized fit. Using advanced impression technology, EyePrintPRO® captures a detailed impression of the entire eye, allowing us to analyze and visualize even the smallest imperfections. This enables real-time design and refinement, ensuring an exact match that enhances comfort, stability, and distortion-free vision—where standard lenses may fall short.
I often explain the difference like this:
Traditional scleral lenses are like buying a suit off the rack—a tailor can make adjustments, but it’s still based on a standard design.
EyePrintPRO® is like a custom-tailored suit, made just for you. Every detail is accounted for, from sleeve length to the perfect contour, ensuring a flawless fit.
Time and time again, I’ve seen EyePrintPRO® transform the lives of patients who were previously told they had no other options—providing them with the clarity and comfort they never thought possible.
Who Benefits from EyePrintPRO?
EyePrintPRO® is ideal for individuals with irregular corneas or those who have struggled with traditional contact lenses. It is specifically designed for patients with keratoconus, corneal transplants, post-LASIK ectasia, corneal scarring, severe dry eye, Salzmann’s nodular degeneration, or other complex ocular conditions that make standard lenses uncomfortable or ineffective.
Throughout my career, I’ve encouraged patients to shift away from what I call the “ladder approach”—starting with entry-level technology, only to find it insufficient or outgrown as their visual needs evolve. This cycle of trial and error often leads to frustration, exhaustion, and unnecessary financial strain. Instead, I advocate for investing in a top-tier solution from the start—one that delivers immediate results and has the adaptability to meet future needs without constant upgrades or compromises.
That’s where the EyePrint Platform makes all the difference. Even its most basic offering, outperforms standard scleral lenses, providing a level of precision and clarity that traditional designs simply can’t match.
I learned this firsthand many years ago by observing my successful traditional scleral lens patients still seeking more from their vision—such as sharper clarity for night driving. At the time, certain advanced technologies, such as distortion correction from OVITZ, were only available through the EyePrintPRO® platform, and when patients switched to EyePrintPRO®, they immediately noticed improvements in vision and comfort—even in areas they hadn’t previously identified as problematic.
This experience reinforced what I already knew: EyePrintPRO®’s advanced impression technology delivers an unmatched fit, superior comfort, and the clearest vision possible. Watching already satisfied patients become even happier opened my eyes to the impact of true customization, and it ultimately shaped my belief that offering the best solution from the start is the smartest approach for my patients.
While EyePrintPRO® was developed for the most severe cases, it is not exclusively a last-resort solution. EyePrintPRO® is ideal for those seeking superior vision correction, enhanced comfort, and a fully customized fit. It offers a solution for individuals with high astigmatism, visual distortions while driving, and those looking to advance with multifocal contact lenses—providing endless possibilities for personalized vision enhancement.
Advocating for Patients with Unique Vision Needs: A Passion for Innovation
Dedicating my career to pioneering solutions for patients with unique vision challenges has been more than just a mission—it’s my passion. It demands a personalized approach and meticulous attention to detail, allowing me to uncover and address vision challenges that have long been overlooked or dismissed, ultimately improving the quality of life for so many.
It brings me immense joy to not only understand the struggles of patients with complex corneal conditions but also to assure them that they are not alone. With groundbreaking technology like EyePrintPRO, we can lift the burden of distorted vision and provide clarity where other solutions have fallen short. Repeatedly, I have witnessed EyePrintPRO restore not just vision, but also confidence and independence, redefining what’s possible in specialty contact lenses.
For anyone who has felt like they’ve exhausted their options, there is hope. With EyePrintPRO, you don’t have to settle for “good enough” vision—you can achieve the clarity and comfort you truly deserve. If you’re ready to experience the next level of customized vision correction, I invite you to schedule a consultation to discover how EyePrintPRO can transform your vision. Together, we can determine if EyePrintPRO is the right solution for you and find a personalized option tailored to your unique eyes.
