Our Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses
Keratoconus Contact Lenses: Restoring Clarity
Keratoconus presents unique challenges, but our specialized keratoconus contact lenses offer a path to clear vision. At For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center, our optometrists excel in fitting lenses that provide comfort and improved vision for individuals with this eye condition.
Keratoconus What Is It?
Keratoconus is a progressive eye condition where the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. This irregular shape causes distorted vision and increased sensitivity to light and glare. Standard contact lenses often do not provide adequate correction for keratoconus, necessitating specialized lens designs.
Our Specialized Keratoconus Lenses
-
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: RGP lenses are smaller, rigid lenses that provide clear vision by maintaining their shape on the irregular cornea, creating a smooth refracting surface. They are a common choice for early to moderate keratoconus.
-
Hybrid Lenses: These lenses combine a rigid center with a soft outer ring, offering the visual clarity of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. Hybrid lenses are particularly beneficial for individuals who find RGP lenses uncomfortable.
-
Scleral Lenses: Scleral lenses are larger lenses that vault over the entire cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (sclera). They are filled with a saline solution that creates a smooth optical surface and provides comfort and stability. Scleral lenses are ideal for advanced keratoconus and for those who experience discomfort with other types of lenses.
-
Custom Soft Lenses: For mild to moderate keratoconus, custom soft lenses designed specifically for the irregular cornea can provide improved vision and comfort. These lenses are tailored to the unique shape of each individual's eye.
Astigmatism Specialized Contacts: Sharp Vision Awaits
Astigmatism is a common refractive error that occurs when the cornea or lens of the eye has an irregular shape. This irregularity prevents light from focusing properly on the retina, leading to blurred or distorted vision at all distances. Unlike regular spherical lenses, which correct myopia (nearsightedness) or hyperopia (farsightedness), toric lenses are designed specifically to address the unique curvature of eyes with astigmatism.
Why Choose Toric Lenses?
- Precise Vision Correction: Toric lenses are crafted to correct the specific curvature of the cornea or lens that causes astigmatism, resulting in clearer, sharper vision.
- Stable Fit: Toric lenses are designed to stay in place on the eye, preventing rotation and ensuring consistent vision correction throughout the day.
- Comfortable Wear: Made from advanced materials, toric lenses provide exceptional comfort, even for those with sensitive eyes. They are available in both soft and rigid gas permeable (RGP) options.
- Versatile Options: Toric lenses come in a variety of types, including daily disposables, bi-weekly, monthly disposables, and extended wear options, catering to different lifestyles and preferences.
Multifocal Contact Lens: See Clearly at Every Distance
Experience the convenience of multifocal contact lenses that seamlessly transition between near and far vision. Our multifocal lenses offer a practical and stylish alternative for those who prefer not to carry reading glasses.
They also eliminate the need for switching between multiple pairs of glasses and offer visual freedom for those over 40 with presbyopia.
Gas Permeable (GP) Contact Lenses
While not as popular as soft lenses, gas permeable (GP) contact lenses offer unique advantages. Their durability, crisp vision, and high oxygen permeability make them a preferred choice for many.
Custom colored contacts: see and look your best
At For Your Eyes Only Optometry Center, we will work with you to craft your ideal custom colored contact lens. From uniquely tinted sports contacts, to wild designs, we can achieve even more distinct looks than those offered by off-the-rack colored contacts.
