Keratoconus Lenses in Downtown Burbank
If your vision has become increasingly blurry or distorted, you may be experiencing keratoconus. Monji Optometry specializes in advanced keratoconus lenses that provide stability, clarity, and comfort.
For more than 30 years, our family-run practice in Burbank has helped patients from Glendale, Toluca Lake, and across the San Fernando Valley see clearly again through customized contact lenses for keratoconus.
What is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition that affects the shape and strength of the cornea, the clear, front surface of your eye. As the cornea thins and bulges outward, light entering the eye becomes distorted, causing blurry or double vision, increased glare, and sensitivity to light. Patients may also find that their glasses prescriptions change frequently, but still don’t provide sharp vision.
While the exact cause isn’t always clear, genetics, eye rubbing, and environmental factors can contribute. The good news is that, with today’s technology and the expertise of experienced eye doctors for contact lenses, patients with keratoconus can achieve excellent vision and comfort.
How We Diagnose Keratoconus
Early detection is key to successful treatment. During your comprehensive eye exam, we assess the shape, curvature, and thickness of your cornea. Using advanced tools like corneal topography, we can detect even subtle changes that point to keratoconus.
Once we have a full picture of your eye health, we’ll discuss your results and recommend the most effective contact lens options for keratoconus to restore clear, comfortable vision.
Keratoconus Treatment Options
At Monji Optometry, we personalize each treatment plan to your eyes and vision needs. For most patients, specialty contact lenses provide the clearest and most comfortable vision possible. These include:
- Scleral Lenses: Large-diameter lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) and vault over the cornea, creating a tear-filled cushion. Scleral lenses provide exceptional clarity and comfort, even for advanced keratoconus.
- Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Smaller, firm lenses that reshape how light enters the eye, helping correct irregular vision.
- Hybrid Lenses: A combination of a rigid center and soft outer edge for both comfort and stability.
Our Burbank optometrists will help you find the best contact lenses to restore your vision, protect your cornea, and support long-term comfort.
Live Comfortably with Keratoconus
With the right lenses and regular follow-up care, most patients with keratoconus can enjoy clear, stable vision for years to come. We’ll schedule periodic visits to check your corneal health, monitor changes, and make adjustments as needed to keep your lenses performing their best.
