About
EyeSpace is an advanced contact lens design platform that empowers eye care practitioners to create bespoke lenses tailored to each patient's unique eye geometry. At its core, EyeSpace software ingests individualized eye measurement data and applies complex algorithms to engineer two primary lens types: Forge Ortho-K and Scleral lenses. Forge Ortho-K (orthokeratology) lenses are worn overnight and use hydrostatic forces to gently reshape the corneal surface, correcting myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Upon waking and removing the lenses, patients enjoy clear, unaided vision throughout the day — offering a non-surgical, reversible alternative to LASIK. The adjustable design makes them especially appealing for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals with strict vision requirements. EyeSpace Scleral lenses address more complex corneal conditions where conventional correction methods fail. They vault over the cornea to provide a smooth optical surface, restoring visual acuity and quality of life for patients with corneal irregularities or blindness. The platform is supported by a global network of over 20,000 certified practitioners and licensed laboratories in more than 20 countries, serving over 1 million lens wearers. EyeSpace is used by vision rehabilitation foundations such as Eyes2Eyes to restore sight in disadvantaged communities. It is the gold standard for practitioners seeking precision, comfort, and clinical outcomes in contact lens design.
Key Features
- Forge Ortho-K Lens Design: Digitally designed orthokeratology lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, delivering clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts — a non-surgical alternative to LASIK.
- Scleral Lens Engineering: Custom scleral lenses designed to rehabilitate vision for patients with complex corneal conditions where conventional eyewear fails.
- Algorithm-Driven Personalization: Complex algorithms process individualized eye measurement data to generate unique lens parameters precisely matched to each patient's ocular anatomy.
- Global Practitioner Network: Access to over 20,000 certified practitioners and licensed laboratories across 20+ countries ensures consistent, high-quality lens fabrication worldwide.
- Adjustable & Reversible Correction: Forge Ortho-K lenses are fully adjustable as prescriptions change and reversible at any time, making them a flexible long-term vision management solution.
Use Cases
- Vision correction for myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia without daytime eyewear
- Non-surgical, reversible alternative to LASIK or other refractive eye surgeries
- Rehabilitation of vision for patients with corneal disease, irregularities, or blindness using scleral lenses
- Active lifestyle and sports vision management for athletes who need glasses-free performance
- Occupational vision correction for professionals in roles that prohibit corrective eyewear during duty
Pros
- Truly Individualized Lens Design: Every lens is custom-engineered to the patient's specific eye geometry, maximizing comfort, fit, and visual outcomes compared to off-the-shelf alternatives.
- Non-Surgical Vision Freedom: Forge Ortho-K offers a reversible, surgery-free path to clear daytime vision, ideal for patients who cannot or choose not to undergo LASIK.
- Globally Trusted at Scale: With 1M+ patients, 20,000+ practitioners, and operations in 20+ countries, EyeSpace has a proven track record of clinical reliability and reach.
- Vision Rehabilitation Capability: Scleral lenses extend EyeSpace's impact to patients with corneal disease or blindness, restoring quality of life where other options have failed.
Cons
- Practitioner-Only Access: EyeSpace lenses cannot be ordered directly by patients — a certified eye care practitioner must be involved in the design and fitting process.
- Higher Cost Than Standard Lenses: Bespoke design and fabrication make EyeSpace lenses more expensive than conventional off-the-shelf contact lenses or glasses.
- Requires Precise Eye Measurements: The quality of the lens design depends on the accuracy of the eye data provided, requiring specialized diagnostic equipment at the practitioner's clinic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is EyeSpace?
EyeSpace is a professional contact lens design platform that allows eye care practitioners to custom-engineer Ortho-K and Scleral contact lenses using advanced algorithms and individual patient eye data.
What is Forge Ortho-K and how does it work?
Forge Ortho-K is EyeSpace's digitally designed orthokeratology lens worn overnight. It uses hydrostatic forces to gently reshape the cornea, correcting refractive errors so patients enjoy clear, unaided vision during the day after lens removal.
Who is a good candidate for Forge Ortho-K?
Forge Ortho-K is suitable for people with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or presbyopia who want daytime freedom from glasses or contacts, those seeking an alternative to refractive surgery, and athletes or professionals who require unobstructed vision.
What are EyeSpace Scleral lenses used for?
Scleral lenses are used to rehabilitate vision for patients with corneal irregularities or conditions that conventional lenses and glasses cannot correct. They vault over the cornea, providing a smooth optical surface and restoring visual acuity and comfort.
How do I access EyeSpace lenses?
You must visit a certified EyeSpace practitioner who will capture your eye measurements, input them into the EyeSpace software, and order custom-designed lenses through their licensed laboratory. Use the 'Find a Practitioner' tool on the EyeSpace website to locate one near you.
