Corneal scarring occurs when an injury, infection, inflammation, or previous procedure leaves a cloudy or irregular area on the cornea. Depending on its size and location, it may cause hazy, blurred, dim, or distorted vision. Scars near the center of the eye are more likely to affect sight than those along the outer edge.
Scleral lenses vault over the affected area and create a more regular surface for light to pass through. This may improve sharpness, reduce glare, and provide more consistent sight throughout the day. Each lens is individually designed around the shape of your eye.
We take time to understand your symptoms, goals, and daily challenges. Advanced imaging allows us to design a highly personalized lens and fine-tune the fit as needed. You’ll also receive hands-on guidance and continued support throughout the entire process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common causes include eye injuries, infections, corneal ulcers, inflammation, and prior surgery. Certain corneal diseases or untreated surface problems may also contribute. Identifying the underlying cause helps your doctor determine the most appropriate care.
Recommendations vary based on the severity of the scar and how much it interferes with everyday activities. Mild cases may be managed with glasses, while specialty lenses can improve vision when the cornea has become irregular. Medication, laser procedures, or surgery may be considered when additional treatment is needed.
A scar may alter the transparency or natural curve of the cornea, making it harder for the eye to focus an image properly. Patients may notice glare, halos, blurriness, or visual distortion that glasses do not fully correct. The impact depends on the scar’s depth, size, and position.
