Customized Contact Lenses for Hard-to-Fit Eyes
Not all eyes are the same, and some patients face challenges when it comes to finding the right contact lenses. At Eye Q Optometrist, we specialize in providing customized contact lens solutions for patients with unique eye conditions or prescriptions that make traditional lenses uncomfortable or ineffective.
What Does “Hard-to-Fit” Mean?
A “hard-to-fit” patient is someone who experiences difficulty with standard contact lenses due to specific eye conditions or unique visual requirements. These challenges often require advanced lens designs and expert care to address effectively. Common conditions include:
- Keratoconus: A condition where the cornea becomes irregularly shaped, making traditional lenses ineffective.
- Severe Dry Eye Syndrome: Patients with chronic dryness may find standard lenses uncomfortable or intolerable.
- Astigmatism: High levels of astigmatism can cause blurred vision with conventional lenses.
- Post-Surgical Corneas: After surgeries like LASIK or corneal transplants, the eye’s shape can make fitting lenses more challenging.
- Presbyopia: Age-related difficulty focusing on close objects may require multifocal or bifocal contact lenses.
- High Prescriptions: Extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness can necessitate specialized lenses.
