How the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer Improves Scleral Lens Fittings for Maximum Comfort and Clarity

When it comes to scleral lenses, getting the perfect fit is everything. Unlike traditional contact lenses, scleral lenses are custom-made for each patient, ensuring they provide not just clear vision but also long-lasting comfort. For individuals with keratoconus, dry eye syndrome, post-LASIK complications, and corneal transplants, the difference between a well-fitted scleral lens and a poorly fitted one can be life-changing.

At Global Vision Rehabilitation Center, Dr. Edward Boshnick is at the forefront of scleral lens technology, using the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer to ensure the most precise and comfortable fit for every patient. This advanced diagnostic tool is revolutionizing the way scleral lenses are designed, offering a level of accuracy and customization that was previously impossible.

If you’ve struggled with vision issues and discomfort in the past, or if you’ve been told that standard contact lenses aren’t right for you, understanding how WaveDyn technology improves scleral lens fittings may be the first step toward finally achieving sharp, stable, and irritation-free vision.

Why a Perfect Fit Matters for Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses work differently from traditional contact lenses. Instead of resting directly on the cornea, they vault over it and sit on the sclera (the white part of the eye). This design creates a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea, offering continuous hydration, protection, and visual correction.

However, because every eye shape is unique, scleral lenses must be precisely fitted to ensure:

• Maximum comfort without irritation or pressure points
• Optimal vision clarity by aligning perfectly with the eye’s natural optics
• Consistent hydration for patients with dry eye syndrome or meibomian gland dysfunction
• Stable positioning so the lenses don’t shift or cause discomfort throughout the day

This is where the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer makes a difference.

What Is the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer?

The WaveDyn Vision Analyzer is an advanced wavefront aberrometer and corneal topographer that captures highly detailed images and measurements of the eye. Unlike standard diagnostic tools, WaveDyn provides a real-time, dynamic view of the eye’s optical system, allowing for:

• Precise detection of corneal irregularities in conditions like keratoconus and corneal ectasia
• Advanced pupil and iris tracking for accurate lens positioning
• Dynamic wavefront aberrometry, which measures minute distortions in the eye that can impact vision clarity
• Custom lens fitting recommendations based on the unique curvature and shape of each patient’s eye

With these capabilities, Dr. Boshnick is able to fine-tune scleral lenses to an unprecedented level of accuracy, ensuring that each patient gets a lens that feels natural and delivers the best possible vision.

How the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer Enhances Scleral Lens Fittings

1. Mapping the Eye with Extreme Precision

Every eye has unique features, and for patients with irregular corneas—such as those with keratoconus, post-surgical complications, or corneal transplants—even the smallest misalignment in a lens can lead to discomfort and distorted vision.

The WaveDyn Vision Analyzer captures ultra-high-resolution maps of the cornea and sclera, identifying even microscopic irregularities that could affect lens fit. This ensures that the scleral lenses designed for each patient match their eye’s exact shape, eliminating guesswork and reducing the need for multiple adjustments.

2. Eliminating Discomfort and Pressure Points

One of the most common complaints among contact lens wearers—especially those using scleral lenses—is discomfort caused by poorly distributed pressure. If a lens presses unevenly on the sclera, it can lead to redness, irritation, and fatigue.

By providing a complete 3D topographical map of the eye, the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer allows Dr. Boshnick to design lenses that distribute pressure evenly, preventing discomfort and ensuring that the lenses feel weightless and natural throughout the day.

For patients with severe dry eye or post-surgical sensitivity, this feature is essential in making scleral lenses a truly comfortable solution.

3. Improving Vision for Post-Surgical Patients

For patients who have undergone LASIK, corneal transplants, or radial keratotomy, achieving clear vision with traditional lenses can be a challenge. Irregular corneal surfaces can cause unpredictable distortions, halos, or glare.

The WaveDyn Vision Analyzer detects and measures high-order aberrations—minute distortions that affect vision but are not corrected by traditional glasses or contacts. With this data, Dr. Boshnick can customize scleral lenses that compensate for these distortions, restoring sharp and stable vision.

FAQs About Scleral Lenses and WaveDyn Technology

1. How does the WaveDyn Vision Analyzer improve scleral lens fittings?

The WaveDyn Vision Analyzer captures highly detailed images of the cornea and sclera, allowing for a customized lens design that ensures a precise fit, maximum comfort, and sharp vision correction.

2. Who can benefit from scleral lenses fitted with WaveDyn technology?

Anyone with keratoconus, dry eye syndrome, corneal transplants, LASIK complications, or irregular corneas can benefit from custom-fitted scleral lenses using WaveDyn technology.

3. Are scleral lenses uncomfortable to wear?

Not at all! Because they rest on the sclera rather than the cornea, they are more comfortable than traditional contact lenses, especially for those with sensitive or irregular corneas.

4. How long does it take to get custom scleral lenses?

The fitting process, including diagnostics, trial lenses, and final customization, typically takes a few weeks. This ensures the lenses are perfectly tailored to your eyes before finalizing the prescription.

5. How long do scleral lenses last?

With proper care, scleral lenses can last up to a year or longer before needing replacement. Regular check-ups help ensure they remain effective and comfortable.

6. Is WaveDyn technology available at all eye care centers?

No, WaveDyn technology is only available at select specialty eye care centers. Dr. Edward Boshnick is one of the few specialists using WaveDyn for custom scleral lens fittings, ensuring exceptional precision and patient outcomes.

Take the First Step Toward Perfectly Fitted Scleral Lenses

If you’ve tried contact lenses in the past and they didn’t work for you, don’t give up hope. With today’s technology, a truly custom-fitted scleral lens can transform the way you see and feel.

At Global Vision Rehabilitation Center, we use the latest advancements in WaveDyn technology to ensure that every scleral lens is precisely tailored to your eyes.
