Specialty Contact Lenses

Specialty contact lenses are used on some of the most difficult-to-fit patients. They are sometimes soft lenses, rigid lenses, or a combination of the two.  Regardless of the material, they are not typically off-the-shelf lenses.

Some of the more common uses of these lenses include:

Bifocal contacts

Difficult to fit eyes

Keratoconus or other corneal degenerations

Severe Dry Eye

High myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism

Piggyback lenses

Better vision than may be possible with glasses

Previous eye surgeries (LASIK, Radial Keratotomy, corneal transplant)

Color deficiencies

Prosthetic colored lenses
