What is Keratoconus and How Do Scleral Lenses Help?

Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. Standard glasses and soft contact lenses cannot correct the irregular astigmatism caused by this distortion.

Scleral lenses rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) without touching the sensitive cornea, creating a perfectly smooth optical surface for clear vision.

How do scleral lenses help with keratoconus?

Scleral lenses vault over the irregular corneal surface and rest on the sclera (the white of the eye) without touching the sensitive cornea, creating a smooth optical surface for clearer vision.

Does contact lens fitting replace medical treatment for keratoconus?

No. Contact lens fitting may support vision but does not replace medical assessment of corneal progression or treatment needs, which should be confirmed with a specialist.

Yes. Many visitors, particularly from Bangladesh and West Bengal (Kolkata), come to Nepal for cataract, retina, or other eye surgery at a hospital and also want new glasses, a general eye exam, or contact lenses at the same time, before or after their procedure. Vision Concern is an optical and eye-examination clinic, not a surgical hospital, so we work alongside hospitals such as Tilganga: we are happy to see you for glasses, contact lenses, or a routine check-up either side of your surgical treatment elsewhere.

No conversion is needed. Eyeglass prescriptions from Germany, France, the UK, the USA, China, Russia, and almost every other country use the same international format, SPH (sphere), CYL (cylinder), and AXIS, measured in diopters. Our opticians read this directly, so you can bring your prescription paper, a photo of it on your phone, or simply your current glasses, and we will use the same values. If your prescription is more than a year or two old, we recommend a quick, free re-check before we make your new pair.

Yes. Above roughly 3,000 metres, UV exposure increases sharply because of the thinner atmosphere and reflection off snow, and ordinary sunglasses (category 2-3) do not block enough UV to prevent snow blindness (photokeratitis). We recommend glacier glasses or category-4 sunglasses with side shields, and can fit these with your own prescription if needed. Vision Concern offers ZEISS polarized, UV400-certified sunglasses with prescription lenses, which we can prepare before you set off on your trek.
