If traditional contact lenses haven’t worked for you, specialty contact lenses might be the answer. Designed to address unique vision challenges, specialty lenses provide clear, comfortable vision for patients with conditions that make standard lenses difficult or ineffective. We can help you find the perfect fit to meet your needs.
Specialty Contact Lens for Unique Vision Needs
Who Can Benefit from Specialty Contact Lenses?
These lenses are ideal for patients with:
- Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped, causing distorted vision.
- Irregular Corneas: Caused by conditions like post-surgical changes or corneal scarring.
- Severe Dry Eye: These lenses provide a protective barrier to keep the eyes hydrated.
- High Prescriptions: For patients with extreme nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Myopia Control: Specialty lenses like orthokeratology (ortho-k) can slow the progression of nearsightedness in children.
Types of Specialty Lenses We Offer
Visionaire Eye Care offers a variety of specialty lenses to meet your vision needs:
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
Ortho-k lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts. They are especially effective for managing myopia in children, helping to slow its progression while offering a glasses-free solution.
SynergEyes Hybrid Lenses
Hybrid lenses combine the sharp optics of rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses with the comfort of a soft lens. With a rigid center and a soft outer skirt, these lenses are ideal for patients with keratoconus, astigmatism, or those who struggle with the feel of traditional RGP lenses.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are larger lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) instead of the cornea. They create a tear-filled barrier that provides hydration, making them perfect for irregular corneas, keratoconus, or severe dry eye.
