Specialty Contact Lenses

While most patients choose contact lenses for cosmetic purposes to get rid of glasses, contact lenses are medically necessary for others. This means your best visual acuity can only be found through well-fit contact lenses and not from glasses. Our contact lens specialists are experienced with all of these complicated conditions including:

• Abnormal cone-shaped protrusion of the cornea of the eye (keratoconus)

• Absence of the natural lens of the eye (aphakia)
  
• Contact lenses for occlusion as an alternative to patching for dimness of vision (amblyopia)

• Corneal scarring

• Post-corneal transplant

• Prosthetic contact lenses to address disfigurement in blind eyes and glare in sighted eyes
