In the precise and personalized world of optometry, overcoming unique vision challenges is at the core of patient care. At M’Eye Clinic, led by experienced optometrist Avigail Shukron, the focus on detailed diagnostics, continuous learning, and advanced technology is driven by a sincere mission to improve every patient’s quality of life.
Unlocking the Potential of Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are custom-designed lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera). These lenses serve as powerful tools for optometrists to treat a wide range of vision conditions, including keratoconus, post-corneal transplant irregularities, and severe dry eye.
“Our goal at M’Eye Clinic is to provide each patient with the most precise, comfortable, and personalized solution for their visual needs,” says Avigail. “Scleral lenses are a valuable tool in achieving that goal.”
Treating Keratoconus with Scleral Lenses
Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge, distorting vision. Traditional contact lenses often fail to offer enough support or stability. Scleral lenses, however, bypass corneal irregularities, offering a smooth optical surface and improved visual clarity—dramatically improving quality of life for patients with keratoconus.
Post-Corneal Transplant Vision Correction
After a corneal transplant, patients often need vision correction. Post corneal transplant lenses offer the stability and comfort needed to compensate for irregularities in the transplanted cornea. Custom scleral lenses help these patients achieve sharper, more consistent vision.
Multifocal Solutions and Prism Lenses
Scleral lenses aren’t just for complex cases. They also offer solutions for presbyopia, with multifocal scleral lenses serving as a comfortable and stable alternative to progressive glasses. Additionally, due to their excellent stability, scleral lenses can be designed with prism corrections, helping patients with conditions such as strabismus (eye misalignment).
Wide Range of Personalized Solutions
M’Eye Clinic proudly offers both ready-to-wear lenses and custom scleral lenses tailored to unique patient needs. From high prescription lenses and hybrid lenses (combining soft and rigid materials), to mini scleral lenses, the clinic ensures a personalized approach to every condition.
Therapeutic Applications
Scleral lenses also offer therapeutic relief for ocular surface diseases, dry eye syndrome, and even cosmetic purposes (such as prosthetic or filtered lenses). These lenses help maintain moisture, reduce irritation, and provide both comfort and aesthetic benefits.
Vision Training & Rehabilitative Programs
Beyond lenses, M’Eye Clinic offers an advanced training program called Revital Vision—developed in Israel and FDA/CE approved—which helps improve visual performance through clinically-proven exercises. It is especially beneficial for conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye).
Final Thought
At M’Eye Clinic, overcoming fears and doubts about scleral lenses becomes easy thanks to the team’s dedication, knowledge, and personalized care. Founded with the vision of improving lives through better vision, the clinic’s use of diverse scleral lens types reflects its commitment to excellence.
