Contact Lenses for "Hard-to-Fit" Eyes
For individuals with unique vision needs, hard-to-fit contact lenses provide tailored solutions that address specific eye conditions and ensure optimal comfort and clarity. These specialized lenses are designed to accommodate various eye irregularities and conditions that standard lenses cannot effectively correct.
Types of Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses:
-
Gas Permeable (GP) Contact Lenses: GP lenses offer exceptional clarity and vision quality, making them suitable for a range of eye conditions, including keratoconus and irregular corneas. These lenses allow for high oxygen permeability, promoting eye health and reducing the risk of dryness and irritation. GP lenses are durable and long-lasting, often providing sharper vision than soft lenses.
-
Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism: Specifically designed to correct astigmatism, toric contact lenses accommodate the unique shape of the cornea, providing stable and clear vision. They align correctly with the eye's natural shape and are available in both soft and gas-permeable materials, offering flexibility based on individual needs and preferences.
-
Scleral Lenses: These are larger in diameter and rest on the sclera (white part of the eye) instead of the cornea. They are ideal for individuals with irregular corneas, severe dry eyes, or post-surgical eyes. Scleral lenses create a smooth optical surface, offering superior comfort and sharp vision. They also provide a reservoir of tears between the lens and the cornea, ensuring constant hydration.
-
Hybrid Contact Lenses: Hybrids combine the clear vision benefits of GP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses. They feature a rigid center for sharp vision and a soft outer skirt for comfort.
