Specialty Contact Lenses
Contacts that actually fit.
If standard contact lenses haven't worked for you — keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, high astigmatism, severe dry eye — the problem isn't your eyes. It's the fit.
What's actually happening
Most contacts aren't built for your eye.
Off-the-shelf contacts are designed for "average" corneas. About 15% of patients don't fall in that average — irregular cornea shape, severe astigmatism, post-LASIK changes, or chronic dryness.
Specialty lenses are custom-fit to your specific cornea. Most patients arrive after years of being told "you can't wear contacts." They're wrong.
Who this is for
You've probably been told some of this.
Keratoconus
Progressive corneal thinning makes standard contacts impossible to fit.
Post-LASIK or transplant
Surgically modified corneas need custom geometry — not generic lenses.
High astigmatism
Prescriptions over -2.50 cylinder where standard torics fail.
Severe dry eye
Scleral lenses act as a fluid reservoir, protecting your cornea all day.
Contact lens intolerance
You've quit contacts because of discomfort — but want to wear them again.
Hard-to-fit prescription
"You can't wear contacts" isn't always true. Often it's "the wrong contacts."
How we fit differently
Fit first. Reorder last.
Every specialty fitting starts with corneal topography — mapping the curvature of your cornea to 0.01 millimeter. From there, we choose between scleral, hybrid, or custom soft lenses based on your specific shape.
Then we trial-fit. Adjust. Trial-fit again. Most patients leave their first appointment with diagnostic lenses in their eyes — actually seeing clearly for the first time in years.
"I gave up on contacts after three doctors said keratoconus made it impossible. Sclerals changed my life. I should have come here first."

Lens options
Custom-fit lenses, matched to your cornea.
Scleral lenses
Large-diameter rigid lenses that vault over the cornea. Gold standard for keratoconus and severe dry eye.
Hybrid lenses
Rigid center for clarity, soft skirt for comfort. Great middle ground for high astigmatism.
Custom soft lenses
Made-to-order soft contacts for prescriptions standard contacts can't handle.
Ortho-K
Reshapes the cornea overnight. Daytime: no contacts, clear vision.
Bifocal / multifocal
For specialty patients who also need reading correction.
Toric specialty lenses
Astigmatism-correcting specialty lenses for irregular corneas.

Most patients we see have been told they "can't wear contacts." Most of them are now wearing them comfortably.
