Effective Scleral Lens Solutions for Post-LASIK Complications

(480) 892-6560

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.

Oasis Vision Center is a great place to get your eyes examined. Dr, Pieper was very thorough in eval... uating and explaining my elderly mom's test results. Oasis Vision Center provided my mom with the best eyewear to improve her vision despite her loss of vision due to glaucoma. Allison was very patient and understanding when working with mom to get the best eyewear. I highly recommend Oasis Vision Center.

I decided to get my eyes checked at Oasis, in the hopes that I would get a good deal when I bought m... y glasses (I did get a very good deal on my glasses). I had been having trouble seeing at night with my glasses and I couldn't see very far away with my glasses either; night or day. Surprise, I needed cataract surgery. The Doctor nudged me a bit to go and see an ophthalmologist and boy was I glad that he did. Apparently, my eyes did have cataracts and I ended up having them removed. Who woulda thunk that an optometrist at a Costco would catch this problem and direct me to a great ophthalmologist. Oasis Vision Center is now mine and my husband's go to optometrist. I went the year after my cataract removal and the doctor found out that I had near perfect vision. Win, win, win.
