Specialty Contact Lenses for Patients Who Need More Than Traditional Contact Lenses
Specialty Contact Lens FAQS
Specialty contact lenses are customized for patients whose eyes require more than a standard soft contact lens. They are selected based on detailed measurements of your eyes and designed to improve comfort, vision, and overall fit.
Yes. Many patients with dry eyes find specialty contact lenses more comfortable than traditional soft lenses because they're designed to provide a more customized fit and improve the eye's overall comfort.
Every patient is different, but specialty contact lens fittings often involve additional measurements and follow-up visits to ensure your lenses fit properly and provide the best possible vision.
A previous experience doesn't necessarily mean contact lenses aren't an option. A specialty contact lens evaluation allows us to determine whether a customized lens design may provide a better solution for your eyes.
When Traditional Contact Lenses Aren't the Right Fit
Many patients assume that uncomfortable contact lenses are something they simply have to live with. Others stop wearing contacts altogether because they never seem to fit properly or provide the vision they need.
Specialty contact lenses are designed for patients whose eyes require a more customized solution. Rather than relying on a standard lens, these lenses are selected and fitted specifically for your eyes to improve comfort, vision, and long-term eye health.
You may benefit from specialty contact lenses if you:
- Have dry eyes that make contact lenses uncomfortable
- Have a complex prescription
- Don't see clearly with traditional soft contact lenses
- Have been told you're not a good candidate for contact lenses
- Have struggled to find comfortable contact lenses
