Finding Comfort and Clarity with Custom Contact Lenses

If you’ve ever struggled to find contact lenses that fit well, feel comfortable, or provide clear vision, you’re not alone. Many people face challenges with traditional contact lenses, especially if they have unique vision needs or underlying eye conditions. At Woodley Optometry, we specialize in fitting advanced specialty lenses to help you see and feel your best.

What Are Custom Contact Lenses?

Custom contact lenses are designed to address your specific vision needs, providing a more personalized fit compared to standard lenses. These lenses are especially beneficial for individuals with conditions like astigmatism, keratoconus, dry eye syndrome, or irregular corneas. With advanced technology and precise measurements, custom lenses enhance vision and reduce discomfort, making them a life-changing option for many.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

Rigid Gas Permeable lenses are smaller, durable lenses that offer excellent vision correction by maintaining their shape on the eye. Unlike soft lenses, RGP lenses provide sharper vision for people with irregular corneas or significant astigmatism. Their design allows oxygen to pass through, promoting better eye health and reducing the risk of complications.

Who benefits from RGP lenses?

•          Individuals with astigmatism

•          Those with keratoconus or corneal irregularities

•          Patients seeking precise vision correction

While RGP lenses may take some time to adjust to, their clarity and durability often make them worth the effort.

Toric Lenses for Astigmatism

Astigmatism, caused by an irregularly shaped cornea, often requires specialized lenses for optimal correction. Toric contact lenses are designed specifically for this condition, aligning perfectly with your unique corneal shape to provide clear, stable vision.

Advantages of Toric Lenses:

•          Designed for a secure fit to reduce lens rotation

•          Available in soft and RGP materials

•          Customizable for varying levels of astigmatism

If you’ve been frustrated by blurry or fluctuating vision with standard lenses, Toric lenses may be the solution you need.

Scleral Lenses: Comfort for Complex Cases

For those with advanced eye conditions or severe dry eye, scleral lenses offer exceptional comfort and clarity. These larger lenses vault over the cornea, resting on the sclera (the white part of the eye). This design creates a liquid-filled chamber that hydrates the eye and protects it from irritation, making scleral lenses ideal for individuals with sensitive eyes.

Common uses for Scleral Lenses:

•          Keratoconus or other corneal irregularities

•          Severe dry eye syndrome

•          Post-surgical vision correction needs (e.g., after LASIK or corneal transplants)

Scleral lenses provide a smooth, consistent surface for clear vision, even in complex cases.
