Advanced 3D imaging and custom-designed lenses for patients who need more than standard contact lenses can offer.
To understand custom lenses, we first have to look at the limitations of standard eye mapping.
A traditional corneal topographer takes an image of the front part of your eye (the cornea) and generates a colorful map showing steep and flat curvatures. While crucial for detecting corneal diseases, regular topographers give zero information about the white part of your eye (the sclera).
Since scleral lenses rest entirely on the sclera, putting a standard scleral lens on an irregular eye often results in compression, redness, and irritation.
Scleral topographers solve this by mapping the entire surface, including the sclera. This gives us the exact shape of the landing zone.
For example, if a patient has severe keratoconus and a small pinguecula (an elevation on the eye), a scleral topographer captures that elevation so we can design a lens that vaults over the bump perfectly.
Our clinic features sMap 3D scleral topography, capturing over 1 million data points from your scleral shape to create a highly customized Latitude Scleral Lens. We are among the very few practices in Nevada offering this technology.
Do NOT wear contact lenses for at least 48 hours prior to your sMap appointment. Contact lenses alter the squishy tissue of your eye. Think of a tight-fitting sock—when removed, it leaves compression lines on your skin. We need your eye to return to its natural shape.
We instill a mild yellow dye. You will look straight, down, and up while the machine uses reflections to capture highly detailed surface images.
The doctor checks your prescription with a diagnostic lens, then sends the 1 million data points to the lab where special software designs your lens.
A custom service that provides contact lenses specifically designed to fit each unique eye using actual physical impressions.
This utilizes the latest technology to provide an alternative for corneal diseases and irregularities that cannot be improved with traditional lenses. It provides similar benefits to a scleral lens (oxygen permeable material, high comfort), but with a fully customized physical footprint.
Dr. Stephanie Woo is one of very few practitioners in the United States certified to fit the EyePrint Prosthetic, and among the only providers offering this technology in Nevada.
A safe, painless 80-90 second impression using FDA-approved material.
The laboratory scanner evaluates millions of points to capture all irregularities.
A unique identification of your cornea, as different as a fingerprint.
Do NOT wear contact lenses for at least 48 hours prior to your EyePrint fitting.
This ensures that your eye goes completely back to its original shape so that the impression of your eye is super accurate.
In the exam chair, the doctor reviews the process. First, the impression material is mixed together in a special tube and inserted into a small tray. It sets up in the tray for about 40 seconds.
The tray is inserted under your upper and lower lids and sits on your eye for about 90 seconds. It is safe and painless; most patients exhibit a "funny gooey feeling."
If the EyePrint is for vision correction, the doctor may place a diagnostic scleral lens on your eye to determine what prescription to add into your EyePrint.
The perfect impression is mailed to the laboratory where a 3D scanner evaluates millions of points on the mold to capture all irregularities and curves.
The information from the scanner is sent to the lathe, which cuts and shapes the lens using special software. No guesswork is involved.
Most devices are fabricated and shipped back within 4 weeks. An expedited overnight option is available for an additional cost to receive your lens within 3–5 days.
