JH-M, 20, Keratoconus, Retinal Detachment, High Myopia & Astigmatism, can now see w Scleral Lenses.

JH-M has a number of visual problems
1. Keratoconus: - the cornea is distorted and has caused High Myopia and Astigmatism.
2. High Myopia and Astigmatism - his eyeglass prescription is very high, and since his cornea is distorted, light does not bend equally onto the retina (the back part of the eye).
3. Retinal Detachment - a retinal detachment occurs when the eye is stretched and the retina, the part of the eye that captures light and sends it to the brain, literally detaches from the part of the eye that it is usually attached to. Retinal detachment occurs in 1 out of every 10,000 people. Retinal Detachment in both eyes is even more rare.
He came in wearing eyeglasses and his sight was very limited. With eyeglasses, he saw worse than 20/200 in the right eye (the big E on the eye chart) and his left eye could only see a hand waving in front of his eye.
Scleral Lenses enable him to see 20/40 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left. This is considerable improvement and enables him to function and work.
