Effective Scleral Lens Solutions for Post-LASIK Complications

(913) 254-7456

Understanding Post-LASIK Complications

While LASIK surgery has offered many individuals the freedom from glasses and traditional contact lenses, it's important to acknowledge the potential for serious post-operative complications. These can include post-LASIK ectasia, severe and debilitating dry eye, neuropathic pain, herpetic reactivation leading to scarring, and exacerbated symptoms of Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy (ABMD) if overlooked before the procedure.

Post-LASIK Ectasia and Scleral Lenses

Post-LASIK ectasia, a progressive thinning and bulging of the cornea, is a rare but serious complication. Scleral lenses are often the preferred method of treatment for this condition. These lenses are specifically designed to vault over the cornea, providing support and maintaining the correct shape of the eye, thus offering improved visual clarity and comfort.


Managing Severe Dry Eye and Neuropathic Pain

Severe dry eye and neuropathic pain are other potential complications following LASIK. Scleral lenses play a crucial role in managing these conditions. Creating a reservoir of sterile saline solution between the lens and the cornea provides continuous hydration to the eye's surface, relieving symptoms of dryness and discomfort associated with neuropathic pain.

Scleral Lenses for Herpetic Reactivation and ABMD

In cases where LASIK triggers herpetic reactivation or worsens ABMD symptoms, scleral lenses can be a lifesaver. These conditions often result in corneal scarring and irregularities that standard lenses cannot address effectively. Scleral lenses offer a smooth optical surface over the cornea, helping to alleviate discomfort and improve vision.

Dr. Marr and his staff are AMAZING! I had an emergency over the weekend, they got me right in, and s... aw me on my quick lunch break. He was thorough, yet considerate of my time. He ensured I’d have enough contacts to get through my “emergency situation”, and made sure he gave me to give me the best deal for prescriptions. I cannot say enough good things about his office! I will definitely be sending my friends, patients and family his way! Thanks again guys!!!

I stopped into Insight Vision Center to have my new glasses check & Brittany was wonderful. She spot... ted a flaw on my glasses I never noticed that could throw of my vision. I actually purchased my glasses from Costco, who missed the flaw. I'm so happy Brittany spotted it. She's excellent & knows about glasses. Next time I'll use Insight.
