What are keratoconus contact lenses?

Keratoconus contact lenses are rigid or scleral lenses made for a cornea that has thinned and changed shape. They are usually the next step when glasses and soft lenses no longer give clear vision. At Lynbrook Optical your optometrist maps your cornea, fits the lens and reviews the fit over follow-up visits.

Who comes to us for keratoconus lenses

  • Glasses that no longer give clear vision
  • Soft lenses that no longer give clear vision
  • Diagnosed with keratoconus or an irregular cornea
  • Referred by an ophthalmologist or optometrist
  • Rigid lens wearers who want reviews closer to home

RGP lenses, including Rose K2 and Menicon Z

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are small, firm lenses that sit on the cornea, the clear front of the eye. We fit lenses from the Rose K2 family and lenses made in Menicon Z material.

Scleral lenses

Scleral lenses are larger rigid lenses. They vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye, and they are filled with sterile saline before they go in.

Which lens suits you is decided from the scans of your eye and a trial fit. RGP and scleral lenses: care and handling

What happens at a keratoconus lens fitting?

  1. A map of your cornea

    Corneal topography on the CSO Antares shows the shape of each eye.

  2. Trial lens

    A rigid or scleral trial lens goes on, and fluorescein imaging shows how it sits.

  3. Your lenses ordered

    Made to the measurements of your eyes.

  4. Follow-up reviews

    Wearing time builds over the first weeks, and each step is reviewed.

  • loren wiener27 Oct 2022

    Hard to get too excited about an Optometrist when you are almost 63,  especially in my case never worn glasses before. Just going in for the regular eye test. However, if the Optometrist is a professional optimist as well as in Dr Ali and staff @ Lynbrook Optical in SE Melbourne, happens to be near great food, coffee and loads of free parking, then I know I won't go anywhere else.. and they bulk bill.. yay

  • Krinny Bell27 Oct 2022

    Really friendly staff, great service, made sure we got the glasses that were best for us not best for the bottom line. Explained everything very well and answered any questions, shop is very clean. Great selection of affordable glasses to choose form.

  • pmarilag27 Sep 2022

    The best optical clinic/store  I've dealt with in my 30 years of wearing eyeglasses.  Dr Ali is very knowledgeable and thorough in examining my complicated eyes.  Took time to listen to my problem of having just one eyeglasses that is multifocal,  can be used for both computer work and driving, shopping etc.  And he gave it to me!  Now I got a very stylish Calvin Klein multifocal, transition eyeglasses that I can wear everywhere.  Soo happy.  Thank you so much!
