Custom Comfort for Unique Eyes
Standard contact lenses aren’t for everyone, but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the convenience and comfort they offer. We are skilled in hard-to-fit contact lenses, providing personalised solutions for those with unique vision needs.
What Are Hard-to-Fit Lenses?
Hard-to-fit contacts cater to individuals who cannot wear standard contact lenses due to specific eye conditions or irregularities. These lenses address unique vision challenges, offering improved comfort and visual clarity where standard lenses fall short.
Conditions That Can Benefit from These Lenses
Several eye conditions can make wearing standard contact lenses difficult. Hard-to-fit lenses are ideal for individuals with:
- Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape, distorting vision.
- Astigmatism: An irregular curvature of the cornea or lens, causing blurred or distorted vision.
- Dry Eyes: Reduced tear production or poor tear quality, leading to discomfort when wearing standard lenses.
- Post-Surgical Eyes: Eyes that have undergone surgeries such as LASIK or cataract surgery.
- Irregular Corneas: Conditions such as pellucid marginal degeneration or post-corneal transplant can result in irregular corneal shapes.
Hard-to-Fit Lenses We Offer at 2020 Eyewear
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral lenses are large-diameter gas-permeable (GP) lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). They vault over the cornea, creating a fluid-filled reservoir that provides exceptional comfort and stability. Scleral lenses are ideal for individuals with keratoconus, severe dry eyes, or irregular corneas.
Keratoconic Fits
Keratoconus-specific contact lenses are designed to fit the unique cone-shaped corneas of individuals with keratoconus. These lenses help to correct the distorted vision caused by the condition, providing clearer and more comfortable vision.
Toric Lenses For Astigmatism
Unlike standard spherical lenses, toric lenses have different powers in different meridians of the lens, allowing them to correct the irregular curvature of the cornea or lens. Depending on the patient's needs, toric lenses can be soft or rigid gas-permeable (RGP).
