What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed lenses tailored to your individual eye shape and vision needs. These lenses are ideal for patients with conditions that make wearing traditional contact lenses difficult or impossible, including:

• Keratoconus

• Astigmatism

• Severe dry eye syndrome

• Post-surgical corneas (af

• ter LASIK or corneal transplants)

• High prescriptions (nearsightedness, farsightedness, or both)

• Irregular corneas

Specialty lenses provide enhanced vision clarity and comfort for patients who need a more customized solution.

Scleral Contact Lenses

• Scleral lenses are larger lenses that rest on the sclera (white part of the eye) and vault over the cornea.

• They provide exceptional comfort and clear vision for patients with keratoconus, irregular corneas, or severe dry eye syndrome.

• The fluid reservoir created by these lenses offers constant hydration to the eye, reducing irritation and dryness.
