Specialty Contact Lenses

While standard soft contacts work well for many, others need a more customized solution for clear, comfortable vision. At Sonie Family Eyecare in Mansfield, TX, Dr. Ayidu-Omo offers expert fittings for a wide range of specialty lenses designed to meet unique vision needs, from irregular corneas to advanced prescriptions.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are designed for patients with unique vision needs or irregular eye conditions that cannot be effectively managed with standard soft lenses. These lenses come in various types, materials, and designs, offering precise correction for complex prescriptions or hard-to-fit eyes.

Who Can Benefit from Specialty Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses may be the ideal choice for individuals with:

• Keratoconus or other corneal irregularities

• Severe dry eye syndrome

• High levels of astigmatism

• Post-surgical corneas

• Presbyopia

• Myopia (nearsightedness), especially in children needing myopia control
  
  

At Sonie Family Eyecare, we take a personalized approach to find the best lens option based on your individual eye shape, condition, and lifestyle.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses

• Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These firm lenses provide crisp vision and are especially helpful for patients with high astigmatism or irregular corneas. They allow oxygen to pass through to the eye while maintaining their shape for consistent visual clarity.

• Scleral Contact Lenses: Larger than traditional lenses, scleral lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera). This design is excellent for managing dry eyes, keratoconus, and other corneal irregularities. The fluid reservoir between the lens and the eye offers exceptional comfort and hydration.

• Hybrid Contact Lenses: Combining the best of both worlds, hybrid lenses feature a rigid center for clear vision and a soft outer skirt for enhanced comfort. They are a great option for patients who need the visual sharpness of RGP lenses but want the comfort of soft lenses.

• Multifocal Contact Lenses: For patients experiencing presbyopia, multifocal lenses allow clear vision at multiple distances (near, intermediate, and far) without the need for reading glasses.

• Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): Ortho-K lenses are specially designed to gently reshape the cornea overnight. Worn while you sleep, they temporarily correct myopia so you can enjoy clear vision during the day without glasses or contacts. Ortho-K is also a proven solution for slowing myopia progression in children.
