Specialty Contact Lenses Available



Although wearing contact lenses are a fact of life for many people, if you suffer from certain conditions it may be difficult for the doctor to fit you with contact lenses.

Do you have a condition making it hard to fit contact lenses? Our optometrists in Houston & Katy can find specialty contacts to help your specific needs. It's far from an impossible task, but you may need a special pair of contacts if you have any of the following conditions:

Astigmatism

If you have astigmatism, the curve of your eye is irregular, causing your eye to flatten in an oval. This means you have more than one prescription in the same eye. In Houston contact lenses for astigmatism are called toric lenses, and they're made with a tiny weight the bottom, meant to keep the lens right side up. The weight is small enough that you won't feel it, but it's enough to keep your lens from moving out of focus.

Keratoconus

In keratocunus, the cornea is too thin and allows the eye to bulge outward, changing the curve of the eye and causing the front of the eye to be more sensitive than usual. In Katy contact lenses for keratoconus usually come in two varieties. Our doctors may fit you with rigid gas permeable lenses and may or may not have you wear soft lenses underneath to cushion your eye. Another solution is scleral lenses which are designed to rest on the sclera, or white, of the eye instead of on the colored iris. This keeps the lens from rubbing on the sensitive thin spot, preventing irritation.

Prespbyopia

After the age of 40, many people lose the ability to focus close up. This requires a different contact lens prescription from the normal distance one. When this happens, we can make bifocal or even trifocal contact lenses to deal with multiple prescriptions.

Post Surgical

After LASIK, or refractive surgery, you still may not have perfect eyesight and may need additional corrective lenses. You might need special lenses known as reverse geometry lenses. They're flatter in the center to match the shape of the post-op corneas. In addition to correcting your vision, these lenses can reduce or eliminate the problem of halos and glare at night that are common after refractive surgery. Reverse geometry lenses come in both soft and rigid gas permeable lenses.
