Specialty Contact Lenses

​​​​​​​

In some patients with corneal abnormalities or severe dry eyes, conventional lenses will not sit comfortably on the surface of the eyes.

Patients that might benefit from specialty contact lenses include those who:

• Have been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome

• Have corneal scarring

• Have been diagnosed with keratoconus, a condition characterized by the bulging of the cornea

• Have suffered an injury to the eye

• Suffer from a peripheral corneal thinning disorder

• Are intolerant to other types of lenses

Dr. Wu will be able to tell you if you need specialty contact lenses and if so, which lenses would be best based on your individual requirements.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses:

• Custom soft contact lenses

• Rigid Gas Permeables (RGPs)

• Hybrid Contact Lenses

• Scleral Contact Lenses
