Who Is a Good Candidate for an EyePrint Impression Lens?

Vision correction has advanced tremendously in recent years, offering solutions even for those with highly irregular or challenging eye shapes. One of the most innovative technologies available today is the EyePrint Impression Lens; a fully custom contact lens designed to match the exact shape of your eye’s surface.

What Makes EyePrint Impression Lenses Unique?

The EyePrint Impression Lens is custom-designed for each individual using a detailed impression of the eye’s surface. This process uses a specially formulated, FDA-approved material and a tray that gently fits over the eye. The impression captures all the unique curves and irregularities of both the cornea and surrounding sclera. Unlike traditional imaging tools, this approach gathers a comprehensive map of the ocular surface—information that is essential for those with especially complex or irregular eye conditions.

Once the impression is complete, it is sent to a specialized laboratory where advanced scanning technology creates a precise virtual 3D model of your eye. From there, a custom lens is designed to mirror the unique shape of your eye for optimal comfort and vision. The result is a lens that fits like no other.

Who Might Benefit Most from EyePrint Impression Lenses?

EyePrint Impression Lenses are ideal for individuals who have not achieved success or comfort with conventional contact lenses. Some of the best candidates include:

• Those with Irregular Corneas: Conditions like keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or corneal scars can create surfaces that standard contact lenses simply cannot match.

• Patients with Ocular Surface Diseases: Severe dry eye, ocular surface disease, or significant scarring often make it difficult to find comfortable lens options.

• Individuals with Failed Corneal Surgeries: Post-surgical irregularities from procedures such as LASIK, corneal transplants, or RK can be addressed with a custom-fit lens.

• Anyone with Unique Eye Shapes: Some eyes have shapes or contours that do not work well with standard or even specialty scleral lenses.

• Patients with High Astigmatism or Large Pupil Size: These factors can affect lens fit and vision quality with traditional options, but the EyePrint Impression Lens provides a solution tailored specifically to your needs.

What to Expect During the Process 

The entire process is quick, safe, and comfortable. The impression material is non-toxic and gentle, and the experience is similar to taking a dental impression - but for your eye. There’s no discomfort, and the process only takes a few minutes.

With the data from the impression, your practitioner can provide you with a lens that delivers excellent vision and a secure, comfortable fit - even if you’ve struggled with other contact lenses in the past.
