Scan-Based Scleral Lenses

What Are Scan-Based Scleral Lenses?

Scan-based scleral lenses are custom contact lenses designed using advanced imaging technology that maps the unique shape of your eye. Unlike traditional scleral lens fittings that rely on diagnostic trial lenses and multiple adjustments, scan-based technology captures detailed measurements of the eye’s surface to create a lens tailored specifically to your anatomy.

This personalized approach can help patients with keratoconus, corneal irregularities, severe dry eye, and other complex eye conditions achieve clearer vision and a more successful scleral lens experience.

The Technology Behind the Scan

GAUDI® Profilometer

The GAUDI® Profilometer captures detailed measurements of both the cornea and sclera, creating a comprehensive map of the front surface of your eye. This advanced scan data helps us better understand your unique eye shape and design the GAUDI® FreeForm lens, a highly customized scleral lens made to improve fit, comfort, stability, and vision.

ScanFitPRO®

ScanFitPRO® combines advanced eye-mapping technology with custom scleral lens design to create lenses uniquely tailored to your eyes. By capturing detailed measurements of the ocular surface, we can design highly personalized lenses with exceptional precision, helping improve comfort, vision, and overall fitting success while reducing the need for multiple lens
modifications.

Benefits for Patients

Fewer Trial Lenses & Adjustments

Detailed eye measurements can reduce the need for multiple diagnostic lenses and fitting adjustments, making the scleral lens process more efficient.

Advanced Solutions for Challenging Fits

Precise eye mapping provides valuable information for patients whose eye shape may make traditional scleral lens fitting more difficult.

The data collected helps us work closely with specialty lens manufacturers to fine-tune your lens design and achieve the best possible outcome.

Detailed Eye Mapping

Advanced imaging captures thousands of measurements across the eye’s surface, providing valuable data to guide scleral lens design and customization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes scan-based scleral lenses different from traditional scleral lenses?

Scan-based scleral lenses are designed using detailed measurements of your eye’s surface rather than relying solely on trial lenses and estimations. Advanced imaging technology maps both the cornea and sclera, allowing for a higher level of customization and a more precise lens fit.

Who can benefit from scan-based scleral lenses?

Scan-based scleral lenses are especially beneficial for patients with keratoconus, corneal scarring, irregular corneas, severe dry eye, or previous difficulties with contact lens wear. The detailed measurements help create lenses tailored to complex eye shapes and vision needs.

Does a scan-based fitting improve comfort?

A more detailed understanding of your eye’s shape allows us to design lenses that align more precisely with the eye. This can improve comfort, lens stability, and visual quality while potentially reducing the number of fitting adjustments needed.
