A specialty contact lens exam is a comprehensive assessment specifically tailored for patients with specialty contact lenses. Unlike traditional contact lenses, specialty lenses are designed for patients with unique vision needs or specific eye conditions, offering improved comfort, vision, and eye health.
Do I require specialty contact lenses?
Our specialty contact lens exam is designed to address a wide range of eye conditions and vision issues that may require specialized lenses. These include keratoconus, corneal deformities, and degeneration, which can distort the cornea’s shape, making standard contact lenses ineffective.
Additionally, chronic dry eye sufferers may benefit from specialty lenses designed to retain moisture and improve comfort. Patients with aphakia, anisometropia, or high refractive errors often require customized lenses to achieve optimal vision correction.
Our comprehensive exam screens for these conditions and other parameters not covered by standard contact lenses, ensuring that patients receive tailored solutions for their unique visual needs.
