Specialty Contact Lenses – Vision Correction for Corneal Irregularities

Certain eye conditions make it difficult to achieve clear, comfortable vision with glasses or standard contact lenses. Specialty contact lenses are designed to correct corneal irregularities, improve vision, and enhance comfort.

Specialty lenses may benefit patients with:

  • Corneal conditions such as keratoconus or pellucid marginal degeneration
  • Previous eye surgery, including LASIK, radial keratotomy, or corneal transplants
  • Corneal trauma or infections that alter the shape of the eye
  • Severe dry eye, where specialty lenses can help protect and hydrate the eye

Many patients who were told they “can’t wear contacts” are surprised by the vision and comfort specialty lenses can provide.

Specialty Contact Lens Exam, Fitting and Follow Up

Specialty contact lens fittings are more detailed than standard exams. Your evaluation may include advanced measurements and imaging to design a lens specifically for your eyes.

During the fitting process:

  • Trial lenses are placed and evaluated for fit and comfort
  • Adjustments are made to achieve the clearest vision possible
  • Multiple visits may be required for optimal results

At follow-up visits, you’ll receive your lenses, supplies, and personalized training on insertion, removal, and care.

Specialty Contact Lens Options

We offer a variety of specialty contact lenses, including:

  • Hybrid Contact Lenses
    Rigid gas permeable centers with soft outer edges for clarity and comfort
    (Learn more at     https://synergeyes.com/)
  • Scleral Contact Lenses
    Large-diameter lenses that rest on the white of the eye and maintain a fluid reservoir for hydration and comfort
  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
    Durable lenses that mask corneal irregularities and provide sharp vision

Our office uses advanced technology to ensure precise measurements and an optimal fit.



Finding Your Fit

Contact lenses are medical devices that sit directly on the eye, so a contact lens prescription is different from a glasses prescription.

During your contact lens exam, we will:

  • Evaluate your eye health and vision
  • Take precise measurements of your eyes
  • Discuss your lifestyle, comfort needs, and visual goals

Whether you want lenses for occasional wear or daily convenience, we take the time to find the best fit for you.

Caring for Contacts

Proper lens care is essential for maintaining healthy eyes and preventing infections.

To keep your eyes safe:

  • Remove lenses before sleeping
  • Never swim, shower, or use hot tubs while wearing contacts
  • Wash and dry hands before handling lenses
  • Use only recommended contact lens solutions—never tap water
  • Replace lenses as directed
  • Schedule annual eye exams

For kids and teens, daily disposable lenses are often a great option because they eliminate cleaning and storage.
