Specialty Contact Lenses For Your Unique Eyes

There are a variety of eye conditions that can inhibit your ability to wear typical contact lenses. Luckily, there are options for almost everyone. The best way to determine what type of lens is best for you is to visit us for a comprehensive eye exam.

Scleral lenses are large-diameter rigid gas-permeable lenses designed for corneal irregularities. They vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (whites of the eyes), creating a smooth surface to correct vision problems caused by corneal ectasia. The lenses leave a space for fluid to collect, continuously bathing the cornea.

OrthoK

Orthokeratology, or OrthoK, lenses are rigid gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to temporarily correct nearsightedness. The lenses are commonly used in myopia control for children, but can also offer vision correction for people of all ages.

Aspheric Lenses

Aspheric lenses are contacts that aren’t entirely spherical. They are helpful for astigmatism and presbyopia as the lens power changes gradually from the center to the edge of the lens, minimizing distortion.

Toric Lenses

Toric lenses are named after their atypical shape. Rather than a sphere, they resemble a torus. They are designed to sit in a particular orientation on the eye and typically provide the best vision for patients with astigmatism.

Multifocal Lenses

Multifocal lenses are an excellent option for patients with presbyopia as they correct both near and far vision. They come in both soft and RGP styles.

Transition Contact Lenses

Transition contact lenses contain photochromic molecules and darken when exposed to light. They help to protect the eyes from UV rays without the use of sunglasses.

If you are interested in contact lenses, a contact lens exam will help to determine which type works best for you.
