Our Specialty Lens Options

Scleral Lenses

Large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea. Ideal for keratoconus, irregular corneas, severe dry eye, and post-surgical eyes. Provide exceptional comfort and vision clarity.

Hybrid Lenses

A rigid gas-permeable center delivers crisp optics while a soft outer skirt provides comfort. Ideal for patients with keratoconus or high astigmatism who find fully rigid lenses uncomfortable.

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses

Highly oxygen-permeable rigid lenses providing exceptional optics for high prescriptions and astigmatism. Durable and cost-effective long-term.

Specialty Soft Lenses

Custom-designed soft lenses for high prescriptions, multifocal needs, or irregular astigmatism that standard lenses can't fully correct.

Specialty Contact Lens FAQs

Who needs specialty contact lenses?
Patients with keratoconus, high astigmatism, irregular corneas, corneal scarring, or those who have failed standard soft lens fittings are often candidates for specialty contact lenses. We also fit scleral lenses for severe dry eye patients who need protection alongside vision correction.
What are scleral contact lenses?
Scleral lenses are large-diameter rigid gas-permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye (sclera). They create a tear reservoir between the lens and cornea, providing excellent vision, comfort, and protection — especially for irregular corneas and dry eye.
What are hybrid contact lenses?
Hybrid lenses have a rigid gas-permeable center for sharp optics and a soft skirt for comfort. They're a great middle-ground option for patients with keratoconus, high astigmatism, or irregular corneas who find fully rigid lenses uncomfortable.
Does insurance cover specialty contact lenses?
Medical necessity fittings — such as for keratoconus — may be covered under medical insurance (not just vision insurance). We work with your insurance to maximize your benefits. Contact us to discuss your specific situation.
How many appointments does a specialty lens fitting take?
Specialty contact lens fittings typically require 2–4 appointments. The first visit includes a detailed assessment of your corneal topography and ocular health. Subsequent visits fine-tune the fit until we achieve the optimal lens for your eyes.
