Effective Scleral Lens Solutions for Post-LASIK Complications

(210) 641-4999

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.

I would like to thank the entire staff from the front office for your courtesy and professionalism. ... My grandson order for his glasses was delayed and lost somewhere between the lab and the office receiving the glasses. Thank you to the office manager, Mary-Jenn for diligence in researching to find out what happened to the order and for resolving the problem. Your professional and courtesy remained intact and shinned through to settle my family’s disappointment and frustration in not receiving the glasses in the expected timeframe. Thank you Mary-Jenn and Sheryl that the issued was resolved to our satisfaction and my grandson order was received. He is excited about his new glasses and looking very handsome in wearing them. 💗🌷

Bella Optical has been my provider of choice for over a decade. They have a very unique office, alm... ost like a home, with the largest display of designer glasses that exist! The place is very well run, immaculate and they will always send reminders of when your next examination is due. Special thanks to Cheryl who has been there for years and taken great care of me. Always itemizing the costs before I schedule an appointment she understands a busy client needs that reassurance. She always researches the benefits you have and knows how to apply them correctly. And they always provide instructions on how to get your rebate! When you schedule a time to be seen you will be seen then, no waiting around endlessly. And no matter how busy they are I've never seen the staff anything less than calm and friendly. Thank you all!
