What are specialty contact lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are contacts with special shapes, materials, or abilities to keep you seeing clearly. Many of them are meant to accommodate specific conditions affecting your eyes beyond refractive errors.

After a comprehensive eye exam measures your ability to see clearly at various distances, the team at Optic Gallery Sparks determines your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. They inform you of your options and help you choose between soft lenses, hard lenses, or specialty lenses if you need them. 

Who can benefit from specialty contact lenses?

Most specialty contact lenses aim to correct specific refractive errors or accommodate corneal conditions affecting your eye health. The team at Optic Gallery Sparks can tell you about your eye health and the factors that impact your vision. They can also advise you on which specialty lenses are best for your eyes. 

You might benefit from specialty contact lenses if you have:

• Astigmatism
• Dry eyes
• Keratoconus
• Scarring from eye surgery
• Myopia
• Giant papillary conjunctivitis

Many people also opt for a pair of glasses to use when wearing contacts is impractical. Optic Gallery Sparks ensures your prescription is always accurate with regular comprehensive eye exams.
