What are the prices for keratoconus lenses?
Is there a reimbursement for keratoconus lenses?
For keratoconus lenses, you can go to the Keractonus Center in the Netherlands. Keratoconus is caused by a local thinning in the cornea. At this thinning, the cornea bulges locally and forms a cone. This can lead to less good vision, sometimes double vision in one eye and it can result in high light sensitivity in the eyes. Keratoconus lenses are then the most suitable optical aids, because these so-called scleral lenses tackle the problem at the source.
scleral lenses
Due to the higher oxygen permeability of the new lens materials and the better fits, scleral lenses are very suitable for the correction of keratoconus. As a result, this lens type has become increasingly popular in recent years. Lathes and the controlling software can run increasingly complex patterns. Scleral lenses with Conepower technology are one of a kind. This type of scleral lens not only improves vision, but also contrast sensitivity. Scleral lenses with Conepower technology are unique in their kind and only available at the Keratoconus Center in the Netherlands.
