Specialized care and long-term support for patients with corneal changes, with lens options that provide comfort, clarity, and local follow-up.
Keratoconus Treatment in Commerce, GA
A Practical Approach to Keratoconus
Keratoconus is a progressive condition that affects the shape of the cornea, causing it to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape. For many patients, this leads to blurry, distorted vision that glasses can’t correct.
We diagnose and manage keratoconus for patients across Commerce, Jefferson, Maysville, and surrounding areas. Using advanced imaging and custom lens fittings, we help patients improve their vision and stay comfortable, without driving hours for care.
In-Office Diagnosis & Corneal Imaging
We begin with a full evaluation that includes corneal topography, keratometry, and retinal imaging to assess the shape and health of the cornea. These tools help us identify early signs of keratoconus or monitor how it’s progressing.
If you’ve already been diagnosed elsewhere, we’ll review your existing records and help you understand where things stand, and what your options look like today.
Lens Options That Improve Comfort & Clarity
Because glasses often don’t provide clear vision for patients with keratoconus, contact lenses are usually the best option. At our clinic, we offer:
-
Scleral lenses – for advanced or irregular corneas
-
Gas-permeable (RGP) lenses – for early to moderate keratoconus
-
Hybrid lenses – combining the clarity of RGPs with soft lens comfort
-
Custom soft lenses – for patients with mild irregularity or lens sensitivity
Scleral Lenses for Advanced Keratoconus
Scleral lenses rest on the white of the eye (not the cornea) and vault over its irregular shape, creating a smooth optical surface. They also hold a thin layer of moisture between the lens and eye, which can improve comfort, especially for patients with dryness or light sensitivity.
We custom-fit each scleral lens in-office, and make adjustments based on your vision, fit, and day-to-day experience.
Rigid Gas-Permeable Lenses for Early or Moderate Keratoconus
RGP lenses are small, rigid lenses that provide clear vision by physically correcting the cornea’s irregular shape. Some patients with early-stage keratoconus prefer these lenses for their simplicity and affordability, especially when fit carefully and monitored regularly.
Long-Term Care & Local Follow-Up
Keratoconus is a condition that often changes slowly over time, and treatment needs can shift with it. That’s why we offer:
-
Ongoing lens adjustments as needed
-
Education on lens care and wear time
-
Regular imaging to track corneal changes
-
Referrals for cross-linking or surgical care if appropriate
You’ll never be left managing this on your own. Our team will walk you through what to expect and provide ongoing support, even as your needs change.
Regional Resource for Hard-to-Fit Eyes
Many patients are referred to us after struggling to get a proper fit elsewhere or after being told “nothing else can be done.” We provide specialty fittings for keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, and other irregularities that make standard lenses difficult to wear.
We also speak Spanish, Urdu, Bengali, and more. Which helps families and caregivers better understand the process and follow-up care when needed.
Getting Started with Keratoconus Care
You don’t need a referral to be seen, though many of our patients are sent to us by eye doctors or surgeons in the region. If you’ve noticed your vision is changing, or your current lenses aren’t working well, we’re here to help.
