Specialty Contact Lenses
Over the last few decades, contact lenses have become a very popular form of visual correction and is now a mainstream commodity. Patients who had challenges such as astigmatism, dry eyes and near vision requirements now have many options with regard to contact lens correction. However there are patients who fall into a very special group who need Specialty Contact Lenses. These are patients whose vision cannot be adequately corrected with conventional contact lenses or glasses. These patients have often seen many other practitioners striving and hoping to see better. Circumstances such as ocular trauma, disease or keratoconus, may preclude more traditional contact lens fittings.
Role of Optometrists in Providing Specialty Contact Lenses
Fitting Specialty Contact Lenses is one of the most rewarding parts of being an Optometrist. Patients who have used these unique lenses understand the complexity involved in fitting these contacts. The lenses are usually custom made for each individual patient, the lenses are sometimes costly, and the fitting process can be lengthy. Optometrists are unique in eye care because we dedicate the time to meet each patient’s specific needs, sometimes working over the course of many months. Our goal is to help our patients regain their ability to perform daily tasks with improved vision that previously has not been attainable through conventional methods. We are committed to our patients to work towards providing the best visual outcome possible. It is knowing that we can help patients see their children’s faces clearly, maintain jobs that require good vision and drive themselves to work that keeps us unfailingly motivated. Thank you for your trust.
