02 / SPECIALTY CONTACT LENSES

When standard lenses fall short, we look closer.

Complex corneas and difficult contact lens histories deserve more than another guess. We pair detailed mapping, modern imaging, and years of fitting experience to design a lens around your eye.

THE ALL EYECARE APPROACH

A fit informed by the shape of your eye.

  • Eaglet scleral profilometry

  • SOLIX anterior segment OCT

  • Custom design and clinical refinement

02

We often see patients with

  • Keratoconus or irregular corneas
  • Corneal scarring or prior surgery
  • Contacts that never feel or see right
  • Severe dryness or complex prescriptions

THE ART AND SCIENCE OF FITTING

More information leads to better decisions.

A specialty lens fit is both a measurement problem and a clinical judgment. We use the Eaglet Eye Surface Profiler to map the corneal and scleral shape, and SOLIX OCT imaging to examine the anterior eye and assess the lens on the eye. Those findings help us work with specialty lens laboratories and refine the design.

OUR PROCESS

A closer look, step by step.

01

Understand your history

We review your visual goals, prior lenses, corneal health, wearing time, and what has not worked.

02

Map and image

Eaglet scleral profilometry and SOLIX anterior segment OCT provide different views of the eye and lens relationship.

03

Fit and refine

We combine the data with years of hands-on fitting experience, then adjust the design and monitor eye health over time.

DESIGNED FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

The lens is only part of the solution.

Our goal is a fit that respects your ocular health, your vision needs, and the realities of daily wear.

Scleral lenses

A custom lens can vault an irregular cornea and rest on the sclera, with a fluid reservoir between lens and eye.

Advanced surface mapping

The Eaglet profiler captures corneal and scleral shape to help guide a more individualized design.

OCT-guided assessment

SOLIX scans help us assess the anterior segment and details of lens clearance and alignment when indicated.

Training and follow-through

Insertion, removal, care, and follow-up visits are part of a successful long-term fit.

YOUR NEXT STEP

Leave with a clearer plan.

A complex fit may involve more than one design or adjustment. We explain the process, the expected visits, and what progress looks like for your particular eyes.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good questions deserve clear answers.

Are scleral lenses only for keratoconus?

No. They may also be considered for other irregular corneas, some post-surgical eyes, and selected ocular surface conditions.

Will the first lens be the final lens?

Sometimes, but complex fits often need refinement. Imaging and follow-up help us make informed changes.

What if I was told I cannot wear contacts?

That is a good reason for a specialty evaluation. We can assess whether a different lens design is appropriate, without promising that every eye can wear one.

How many visits does a specialty fit take?

It varies with the eye and lens design. We will explain the anticipated fitting, training, and follow-up visits after evaluating your case.

Should I stop wearing my current lenses before the consultation?

Ask our team when scheduling. We will give instructions suited to the lenses you wear and the measurements planned for your visit.
