What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?


Contact lenses offer a convenient alternative for people who wear glasses. What many people may not know about are the different kinds of specialty contact lenses and what they do. If you have eye issues or experience considerable discomfort when wearing standard contacts, you might want to talk to your optometrist about specialty lenses.


Regular contact lenses are designed to sit directly over your cornea, which is the part of the eye that focuses light on the retina. People who have irregularly-shaped cornea or other eye issues may experience discomfort when wearing standard contacts or might not be able to wear them at all.


Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed to not only fit properly but also treat a range of eye issues, including:


● Dry eyes

● Surgical scarring

● Reshape the cornea to restore clear vision

● Slow the progression of nearsightedness
