What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed lenses created for eyes that require more than a standard soft contact lens. They can improve vision, enhance comfort, and provide a better fit for patients with irregular corneas, certain eye conditions, or complex prescriptions.

Unlike traditional contact lenses, specialty lenses are selected based on detailed measurements of your eyes. Every recommendation is tailored to your eye shape, prescription, and visual needs, helping you achieve the best possible results.

Are Specialty Lenses Right for You?

You may benefit from a specialty contact lens consultation if you:

  • Have been told you're not a good candidate for traditional contact lenses
  • Have keratoconus or another irregular corneal condition
  • Experience discomfort with standard contact lenses
  • Have very high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
  • Have undergone corneal surgery or experienced an eye injury

During your contact lens consultation, our eye doctors will determine whether you are a candidate for custom lenses.

How We Fit Specialty Contact Lenses

Every contact lens fitting begins with understanding your eyes, vision goals, and any challenges you've experienced with previous lenses. Because these lenses are custom-designed, the fitting process is more detailed than a standard contact lens exam.

Your consultation may include:

  • A review of your medical history and vision concerns
  • A comprehensive evaluation of your eye health
  • Advanced measurements and corneal mapping
  • An assessment of your tear film and ocular surface
  • A discussion about your daily activities and visual needs
  • Recommendations for the lens design that's best suited to your eyes
  • Trial lens fitting and follow-up visits to fine-tune your results

Achieving the ideal fit sometimes takes more than one visit.

Technology for a Precise Fit

Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic technology to gather detailed measurements of your eyes. This helps us design contact lenses that provide clearer vision, a more comfortable fit, and better long-term eye health.

Our Specialty Contact Lens Options

No two eyes are exactly alike, which is why we offer a variety of lenses designed to address complex prescriptions and unique eye conditions. During your consultation, our eye doctors will recommend the lens design that best suits your vision, eye health, and lifestyle.

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are larger than traditional contact lenses and rest on the white part of the eye. This design creates a smooth optical surface while maintaining a cushion of fluid between the lens and the eye.

RGP Lenses

Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses offer crisp, stable vision by maintaining their shape on the eye. They may be recommended for patients with astigmatism or corneal irregularities where soft contact lenses don't provide the clarity or fit that's needed.

Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid contact lenses combine the clear optics of a rigid gas-permeable center with the comfort of a soft outer skirt. This unique design can be an excellent option for patients who need the visual benefits of an RGP lens but prefer the comfort of a soft contact lens.

Custom Soft Lenses

Not every prescription fits within the range of standard soft contact lenses. Custom lenses can be designed for patients with higher prescriptions or unique eye measurements, providing better comfort and clarity.
