Lenses for Unique Eye Conditions

Conditions, such as keratoconus, astigmatism, dry eye, giant papillary conjunctivitis, presbyopia, and more, may need non-standard contact lens options. One of the most widely used specialty lenses is the RGP, or rigid gas-permeable, lens. They’re more rigid than the typical soft contact lenses, and they don’t collect debris and protein as easily either. Scleral lenses are another option. These bypass the scleral completely and sit on the white part of the eye for more comfort and a better shape.

Lenses for Stronger Vision Correction or Comfort

Piggybacking contact lenses can add comfort, as they include a soft lens that sits on the eye and a more rigid lens on top of that. You can also consider toric lenses, as well as monovision or bifocal contact lenses to see more clearly. Which type of specialty lenses are right for you can be determined partially by your optometrist but will also depend on what feels most comfortable to you. With many different options available, most people can wear contact lenses.
