Understanding Keratoconus: An Overview of the Eye Disease Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of your cornea, the clear front surface of your eye. In this disorder, the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This distortion can cause significant vision problems, including blurriness, glare, and […]

Understanding Keratoconus: A Brief Overview Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape of your cornea, the clear front surface of your eye. In this disorder, the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. This distortion can cause significant vision problems, including blurriness, glare, and sensitivity to light. […]

Understanding Corneal Crosslinking: A Brief Overview Corneal crosslinking (CXL) is a revolutionary treatment designed to halt the progression of keratoconus, a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This innovative procedure strengthens the corneal tissue by creating new bonds between collagen fibers, effectively stabilizing the cornea’s shape […]

What are Scleral Lenses? Scleral lenses are a specialized type of contact lens made of rigid gas permeable (RGP) material. These lenses differ from traditional contact lenses in several key ways. Unlike other contacts that touch the cornea, scleral lenses are designed to vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of […]

Understanding Corneal Cross-Linking: A Breakthrough Treatment Corneal cross-linking (CXL) has emerged as a revolutionary treatment for various corneal disorders, particularly for those suffering from post-LASIK ectasia. This innovative procedure aims to strengthen the cornea, halting the progression of corneal thinning and distortion. As a patient dealing with post-LASIK complications, you may find yourself searching for […]

Scleral lenses have been a game-changer for those suffering with irregular corneas such as keratoconus, ectasia, corneal transplants, surgical complications, trauma, scarring and so on providing improved sight to individuals. The introduction of wavefront-guided technology has brought scleral lenses to new heights.  CLEI is proud to have pioneered the integration of wavefront technology into scleral […]

Keratoconus and Post-LASIK ectasia are progressive eye conditions where the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, gradually thins and develops a cone-like bulge. This irregular shape can significantly impair your vision, causing blurriness, astigmatism, and light sensitivity. As keratoconus or Post-LASIK ectasia progresses, the structural integrity of the cornea weakens, putting you at […]

Introduction Ptosis, or drooping of the upper eyelids, can significantly impact both appearance and functionality, making individuals appear tired or aged and, in severe cases, obstructing vision. While surgical interventions are commonly employed to address ptosis, recent innovations in scleral lens technology offer a non-invasive alternative. This article explores the role of scleral lenses in […]

Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that causes the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape can significantly distort and impair your vision, making it difficult to engage in sports and physical activities – difficult, but not impossible. With the right precautions and […]

  Keratoconus is a degenerative disorder that affects the structure of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye responsible for focusing light onto the retina. In this condition, the cornea gradually thins and bulges outward, causing distorted vision, sensitivity to light, and other visual disturbances. While the exact cause of keratoconus remains unknown, […]
