Contact Lens Fittings

Difference with Specialty Contact Lens Fittings

Every pair of eyes tells a different story, and sometimes, standard contact lenses just aren’t enough. That’s where specialty contact lenses come in. Designed to fit the unique shape of your eyes, they offer clarity and comfort that traditional lenses simply can’t match.

At our clinic, we take the time to understand your vision challenges and create a lens solution that feels like it was made just for you – because it is.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed lenses that help people who can’t find comfort or clarity with regular contacts. Whether it’s keratoconus, high astigmatism, dry eyes, or vision changes after surgery, these lenses are made to restore crisp, comfortable vision.

Here’s a quick look at your options:

Soft Contact Lenses: Great for daily wearers who value flexibility and all-day comfort.

Corneal Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses: Rigid lenses that allow oxygen through, providing sharper vision and excellent durability.

Hybrid Contact Lenses: A blend of both worlds — a clear, stable center like GP lenses with a soft, comfortable edge.

Scleral Lenses: Larger lenses that rest gently on the white part of your eye, perfect for irregular corneas or dry eye relief.

Why a Professional Fitting Matters

Even the best contact lenses can cause discomfort or blurry vision if they don’t fit just right. That’s why a specialty lens fitting is more than just a measurement – it’s a personalized process.

During your appointment, your eye doctor carefully maps the surface of your eyes, checks your tear film, and tests different lens shapes and materials. The goal is simple: lenses that feel natural, stay comfortable, and help you see your best all day long.

A proper fitting can:
– Improve clarity and stability of vision
– Reduce dryness, irritation, and redness
– Protect your cornea from unnecessary strain
– Make wearing contact lenses a truly comfortable experience
– If your current lenses leave you feeling dry, tired, or frustrated, it might be time to explore a custom contact lens fitting designed around you.

Who Can Benefit from Specialty Contact Lenses?

You might benefit from specialty contact lenses if you’ve experienced:
– Keratoconus or irregular corneas
– Post-surgical vision changes (like after LASIK or RK)
– Chronic dry eye
– Corneal scarring or trauma
– Astigmatism or presbyopia that standard lenses can’t correct

If you’ve been told contact lenses “aren’t for you,” it might just mean you haven’t tried the right kind yet.

What to Expect During Your Fitting

Your fitting starts with a friendly, in-depth consultation. We’ll talk about your vision history, daily habits, and any challenges you’ve faced with previous lenses. Then, we’ll perform a series of painless tests to create a 3D map of your eyes and try diagnostic lenses for comfort and clarity.

Once we find the perfect fit, you’ll take home your lenses with clear instructions and follow-up visits to make sure everything feels and looks right.

Clear Vision, Tailored to You

Seeing clearly shouldn’t come with compromise. Whether you need scleral lenses for keratoconus, hybrid lenses for astigmatism, or gas permeable lenses for sharper vision, we’re here to help you experience the freedom of custom-fitted comfort.
Because your eyes deserve care that’s as unique as you are.
