Freeform scleral lenses with i-Shape: maximum precision for your eyes

At Chris Geysen Contact Lenses, we work with Appenzeller freeform scleral lenses (i-Shape). This is the latest generation of scleral lenses, designed entirely based on the actual shape of your eye.

Not a standard lens, but pure customisation. The new standard in scleral lenses.

What is i-Shape?

The i-Shape is a freeform scleral lens that is no longer fitted using only trial lenses, but is calculated entirely digitally. Your eye is measured biometrically and translated into a lens that fits exactly.

With more than 160,000 measurement points per eye, we obtain an extremely accurate image of your ocular surface.

The result? A lens that fits like a fingerprint.

Why freeform?

Traditional scleral lenses start from a standard shape and are then adjusted. Freeform works the other way around: we start with your eye.

  • perfectly tailored to asymmetrical eyes
  • no pressure points on the sclera
  • optimal distribution of pressure and comfort
  • stable vision without movement

Freeform lenses are based on profilometry and make it possible to successfully complete even difficult fittings.

Comfort and stability

The i-Shape lens is thin, oxygen-permeable, and remains stable on the eye.

  • no sliding
  • no sensation of pressure
  • often faster adaptation
  • consistent visual acuity

Due to the exact fit, the lens often fits correctly right away, with less need for subsequent adjustments.

Our approach

We combine i-Shape with advanced measurements such as profilometry. This allows us to:

  • reach the correct lens faster
  • treat complex eyes more effectively
  • achieve a higher level of comfort

For us, freeform scleral lenses are not a niche, but a logical step in modern contact lens care.

Who is it for?

  • keratoconus
  • irregular cornea
  • post-surgery
  • dry eyes
  • failure of traditional scleral lenses

Our expertise

We have a strong focus on scleral lenses and customisation. i-Shape fits perfectly within that vision: using technology to achieve better results for the patient.
