Advanced contact lenses are custom lenses made for eyes that are difficult to fit with regular contacts due to underlying medical conditions or astigmatism.
Center for Advanced Eye Care offers advanced contact lenses for hard-to-fit eyes, including:
Scleral lenses are large lenses that fit over the clear front of the eye and part of the white part of the eye. This type of lens creates a smooth optical surface and helps retain moisture.
Hybrid contact lenses are a two-in-one lens that features a rigid center for sharper vision. The outer part of the lens is softer for better stability and comfort.
CRT is a type of orthokeratology — a treatment to reshape the surface of the cornea. Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Whiting customize a pair of rigid contact lenses that you wear overnight and remove in the morning to treat astigmatism. CRT allows you to see clearly throughout the day without traditional contacts or eyeglasses.
Center for Advanced Eye Care provides advanced contact lenses to treat a variety of eye conditions and vision problems, including:
Keratoconus is a condition where the cornea becomes cone-shaped and distorts a person’s vision.
High astigmatism is an irregular curvature of the cornea or lens. The condition causes significant visual distortion and blurriness, especially at a distance.
Advanced contact lenses are beneficial for people with severe dry eye disease and those who can’t tolerate wearing traditional contact lenses.
Pediatric myopia describes nearsightedness in children. The condition makes objects look clear up close but blurry at a distance.
Advanced contact lenses offer many benefits for people who can’t wear traditional lenses. These include:
Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Whiting focus on your individual needs and eye health to recommend the appropriate advanced contact lenses. They use specialized technology to map your eye shape to ensure your contacts fit well and function properly.
