Hard to Fit Contact Lenses
Find the Right Contact Lenses for You!
At Eagle View Eye Care, we strive to provide comprehensive, primary eye care for the whole family. Preventative and routine eye exams are important to maintaining good eye health. Often, eye and vision problems do not have obvious symptoms or signs but are easily diagnosed by a licensed optometrist. By diagnosing eye and vision conditions early on, our optometrist is able to provide treatment options and in many cases restore or prevent vision loss. The American Optometric Association recommends yearly or bi-yearly eye and vision exams, depending on whether you are at risk or not.It doesn’t matter if you’ve never worn contact lenses before or if you’re looking to upgrade your current prescription, here at Eagle View Eye Care, we’ll discuss all your options with you to ensure you walk away happy, comfortable, and see your best!

Reasons You Might Need Specialty Contact Lenses
If you’ve struggled with contact lenses in the past, it may be due to the condition of your eyes. Thankfully, advancements in technology have made it possible for people suffering from eye conditions of all types to wear contact lenses.
Astigmatism
Astigmatism develops when the front of the eye curves into a bulge or oval shape. It causes blurred vision and can be difficult to correct because regular contacts cannot account for bulging.
Dry Eyes
When eyes become excessively dry, it leads to irritation, burning, redness, and blurred vision. Contact lenses can exacerbate these conditions by making it feel like a foreign object is stuck in your eye.
GPC
This form of conjunctivitis is caused by inflammation on the inner surface of the eyelid. Protein buildup on contact lenses can make this condition worse.
Keratoconus
This is an uncommon condition that causes major discomfort when wearing contacts. Keratoconus happens when the cornea becomes thinner and allows the eye to bulge forward. The bulge forms a cone shape.
Presbyopia
This is an uncommon condition that causes major discomfort when wearing contacts. Keratoconus happens when the cornea becomes thinner and allows the eye to bulge forward. The bulge forms a cone shape.
Specialty Contact Lens Solutions
Gas Permeable Lenses
Gas-permeable lenses are a good solution for patients who suffer from GPC or Keratoconus. A GP lens will limit protein deposits from accumulating which will reduce GPC symptoms. It is also effective in containing corneal bulging and relieving pressure on the tissue for a Keratoconus sufferer.
Toric Lenses
Toric lenses are useful for correcting astigmatism. Since the lens needs to align with the bulge it is correcting, toric lenses must not rotate in order to fit on the eye. They are typically custom-made to correct specific astigmatism. For that reason, this type of lens takes longer to make and costs more than a traditional contact lens.
Bifocal and Multifocal Lenses
This form of conjunctivitis is caused by inflammation on the inner surface of the eyelid. Protein buildup on contact lenses can make this condition worse.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Scleral Contact Lenses are unlike any other lens we carry. They are rigid gas-permeable lens that is much larger in size compared to other contact lenses. Because of their large diameter, they rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). The sclera has fewer nerve endings than the cornea thus they can be much more comfortable – especially for those with sensitive eyes.
Ortho-k
Orthokeratology, or Orth-K, uses custom-designed and fitted contact lenses to reshape the cornea. By temporarily reshaping the cornea, Ortho-k can correct near-sightedness (myopia). This solution is perfect for those who would like to correct their vision but may not be a good fit for more permanent methods.
Misight®
Orthokeratology, or Orth-K, uses custom-designed and fitted contact lenses to reshape the cornea. By temporarily reshaping the cornea, Ortho-k can correct near-sightedness (myopia). This solution is perfect for those who would like to correct their vision but may not be a good fit for more permanent methods.
