Specialty Contact Lenses

If you’ve had difficulty finding contact lenses that provide both comfort and clear vision, you’re not alone. Many people are told they’re not good candidates for standard lenses due to unique prescriptions, corneal conditions, or other vision concerns. At Coastal VisionCare, we offer advanced, custom lens designs tailored to your individual needs, so you can enjoy sharp, comfortable vision - no matter how complex your case may be.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom-crafted to address vision challenges that traditional lenses can’t fully correct. They use advanced materials, specialized shapes, and personalized measurements to deliver exceptional comfort and clarity, even for patients with complex prescriptions or irregular corneas.

Who Can Benefit from Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty lenses may be ideal for patients with:

• Astigmatism (especially irregular astigmatism)

• Keratoconus or corneal ectasia

• Post-surgical corneal changes (including LASIK complications)

• Severe dry eye syndrome

• High prescriptions outside standard lens ranges

• Corneal scarring or irregularities
  
  

Even if you’ve tried contact lenses before without success, specialty lenses may provide the clarity and comfort you’ve been missing.

What to Expect During Your Exam & Fitting

Fitting specialty contact lenses is a more detailed process than a standard contact lens exam. At Coastal VisionCare, we a thorough, step-by-step approach to ensure your lenses are perfectly customized to your eyes.

Dr. Harris starts with a comprehensive eye exam to evaluate your eye health, prescription, and corneal shape. Next, we perform corneal mapping with advanced imaging technology to create a highly accurate map of your eye’s surface, allowing for precise lens design.

You’ll then try diagnostic lenses so we can assess comfort, fit, and visual clarity. Based on these results, we make detailed adjustments to create a personalized lens fit that supports your vision and comfort.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses

We offer several specialty lens designs to meet a variety of needs:

• Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses - Small, rigid lenses that provide crisp vision and long-lasting durability.

• Scleral Lenses - Large lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera, ideal for irregular corneas or severe dry eye.

• Hybrid Lenses - Combine the clarity of GP lenses with the comfort of soft lens edges.

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses - Worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, providing clear vision without daytime lenses.

• Multifocal Contact Lenses - Feature multiple prescription zones to deliver clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances, making them an excellent choice for patients with presbyopia.
