Not everyone can achieve optimal vision with standard contact lenses. At Eye Associates of New York, we understand that certain eye conditions require specialized solutions. Our dedicated team offers a comprehensive range of specialty contact lens services to address unique vision needs and ensure clear, comfortable vision for every individual.
When Standard Lenses Don't Suffice:
Specialty contact lenses are designed for individuals with:
- Irregular Corneas: Conditions like keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, or post-surgical irregularities can cause the cornea to have an abnormal shape, making standard lenses uncomfortable or ineffective.
- Corneal Disease: Injuries, burns, or growths on the eye can hinder comfortable wear of regular contacts.
- High Astigmatism or Refractive Error: In cases of significant astigmatism or refractive errors, specialty lenses provide superior vision correction.
- Presbyopia: Multifocal specialty lenses offer a solution for individuals experiencing age-related near vision difficulties.
Our Expertise in Specialty Contact Lenses:
At Eye Associates of New York, we offer a wide range of specialty contact lens options, including:
- Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These lenses provide excellent vision correction for irregular corneas and high astigmatism.
- Scleral Lenses: Designed to vault over the cornea, scleral lenses offer exceptional comfort and vision for severely irregular corneas.
Personalized Care for Optimal Results:
Our experienced optometrists conduct thorough eye examinations, including corneal topography, to precisely assess your individual needs. We work closely with you to determine the most suitable specialty lens type and material, ensuring optimal comfort, vision correction, and eye health.
