What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?
Specialty contact lenses are different from traditional contact lenses because they are designed and customized to meet the specific needs of your eyes.
Specialty contact lenses are generally recommended for patients who have impaired vision as well as an eye condition or disease. This can cause standard contact lenses to be uncomfortable or fit improperly.
Determining What Specialty Contact Lens You Need
The Alabama eye doctors at each of the EyeCare Associates locations are an expert in custom contact lens fittings.
In addition to a comprehensive eye exam to evaluate your overall eye health, your eye doctor will also perform a contact lens evaluation. This lets us determine the exact measurements of your eyes. This can be done multiple ways:
Measuring the curvature of your cornea with a keratometer
Creating a map of your eye with a corneal topographer and measuring how the light reflects off your eye
Using a card or ruler to measure the size of your pupils and the diameter of your iris
Since contact lenses sit on the cornea of the eye, it’s extremely important for them to fit properly and comfortably. Improperly fitting contact lenses may damage the eye, putting you at a higher risk of developing a potentially harmful eye condition.
Trust the experienced eye doctors at EyeCare Associates to help you choose the best contact lens type based on your unique eye shape, eye health, and lifestyle.
