Effective Scleral Lens Solutions for Post-LASIK Complications

(937) 426-7787

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.

Very good team.

Easy to find location with very friendly staff. The doctor took the time and caught a previous presc... ription error in my glasses and contacts. I highly recommend this location.

Dr. Molly O'Neill at the Centerville location is fantastic and her recommendations dramatically impr... oved the vision of my son and I. For years our son endured frustrating vision issues under our previous doctor. Once we switched practices and Dr. Molly examined him; she diagnosed the problem and suggested prism lenses and now his vison is dramatically improved. She also changed my prescription and I see better and no longer squint at the computer and when driving. Dr. Molly is easy to work with and we highly recommend her for your family vison needs!

I called about 10 different places but Noone would accept my insurance, finally I was referred to c... omprehensive, First time I had ever took the time to get my eyes checked. They were quick to get me an appointment, I was alittle early but they had me in and done completely just 15 mins after my appointment time. My glasses arrived less than a week later. They fit perfectly and I can see so much better. A++ I would definitely refer Comprehensive Eye Care to others!!

My daughter went in for an eye exam and came out with a pair of glasses on order. The selection of f... rames for children is limited, but they came in less than a week later. I picked them up for her, not realizing that glasses need to be adjusted. My husband took her back that afternoon and they have been great.
