What are Specialty Contacts?

Specialty contacts vary from standard lenses and are used for those who need more of a precise fit for irregular corneas or certain eye conditions. These lenses can include rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, scleral lenses, orthokeratology lenses, and cosmetic options. If traditional contact lenses are not suitable for you, specialty contacts may be able to help you see more clearly.

Who is a Good Candidate for These Lenses?

Most people can wear contact lenses, but sometimes irregularities in the shape of the cornea make it hard to wear a standard lens. This can cause the lens to not your eye properly or be too uncomfortable to wear. You may be a good candidate for specialty lenses if you are not able to safely or comfortably wear traditional lenses, but still want to use contacts instead of glasses.

How Can Our Optometrists Help?

Our optometrists can help you find the specialty lenses you need by carefully examining the shape of your eye or corneas for any irregularities and providing you with the lenses that will correct the issue. We’ll provide you with the right prescription, let you know how often you need a replacement, and how to properly care for your contacts.
