Our Specialty Lens Options
Here are some of the specialty contact lenses we offer in Charlotte, NC, near Uptown, Dilworth, and Myers Park:
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral contact lenses are large-diameter, gas-permeable lenses specifically designed to rest on the sclera—the white part of the eye—rather than directly on the cornea, like standard contact lenses. Due to their large diameter and unique design, our scleral contact lenses provide a distinct fit and improved optical clarity while being very comfortable to wear. This makes them particularly beneficial for people who experience difficulty wearing soft contact lenses due to discomfort or poor fit.
The design of our scleral lenses creates a preservative-free saline-filled vault over the cornea. This vaulting helps to protect the corneal surface, manage severe Dry Eye Disease, and correct vision in conditions where the cornea is irregularly shaped, such as Keratoconus or post-surgical irregularities. Our scleral contact lenses also provide an optimal vision solution for individuals who cannot achieve clear sight with traditional glasses or soft contact lenses.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
Looking for a contact lens that combines sharper vision with long-lasting durability? Our Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses could be your ideal solution.
RGP contact lenses are crafted from a special, hard plastic that is highly oxygen-permeable. These lenses allow more oxygen to pass through to the eye than standard soft lenses, which are made from flexible, water-containing plastics. They also offer a longer lifespan, provide superior vision quality, better resistance to deposits and bacteria, and are more cost-effective over time due to their durability.
While our RGP lenses come with several benefits, we most commonly recommend them for people who:
- Are unsuccessful in multifocal soft contact lenses
- Require contact lenses after surgery
- Want the clearest vision possible
- Have corneal irregularities
- Have high astigmatism
Orthokeratology Contact Lenses
Seeking freedom from daytime glasses and contact lenses? Orthokeratology, also known as ortho-k, could be your ideal solution. This innovative method involves wearing a specially designed rigid contact lens at night to reshape your eye’s cornea and correct your vision while you sleep.
Orthokeratology is an excellent option for those who desire clear daytime vision without undergoing LASIK or other eye surgeries and those who prefer not to use glasses or contact lenses during the day. It’s especially beneficial for patients with nearsightedness (myopia) and those whose prescriptions are still changing, making them unsuitable candidates for LASIK or PRK. With orthokeratology, we can adjust your lenses to match your prescription changes, ensuring you maintain clear vision year after year.
EyeFitPro and EyePrintPro
These specialty lenses are “prosthetic scleral contact lenses” designed with a mold taken in the office. As a result, they can be designed to match the eye’s unique contours and provide a highly customized fit for improved comfort and effectiveness, especially for patients who struggle with traditional scleral lenses.
EyeFitPro and EyePrintPro are excellent choices for patients who have undergone glaucoma procedures like tube shunts or blebs, as well as for those with corneal transplants or severe refractive errors resulting from Keratoconus or other corneal surgeries.
Custom Soft Contact Lenses
Our custom soft contact lenses are specially designed to fit the unique contours of your eyes. Unlike standard contact lenses, which are only available in limited sizes and prescriptions, custom soft contacts are tailored to your needs and measurements. This customization is particularly beneficial for people with irregular eye shapes, high astigmatism, or special vision correction requirements that standard contacts cannot adequately address.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
Our hybrid contact lenses represent a unique category in the world of vision correction. They combine the features of both soft and rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses. This innovative design offers the superior clarity of RGP lenses along with the comfort found in soft contacts.
Prosthetic Contact Lenses
Prosthetic contact lenses are specialized contact lenses designed to improve the appearance of an eye that has been disfigured due to an injury, disease, or birth defect. These lenses are also used to treat functional eye issues, such as light sensitivity. Unlike regular contact lenses primarily used for vision correction, prosthetic lenses focus on cosmetic and therapeutic benefits.
