Who Needs Specialty Contact Lenses and Why

Specialty contact lenses are designed to meet the needs of patients who can’t achieve clear or comfortable vision with standard soft contact lenses. At Coers Family Eyecare, our experienced optometrist in Columbus provides customized fittings for patients who have unique eye conditions or specific vision challenges. These lenses offer advanced designs and materials that address irregular corneas, chronic dryness, or high prescriptions, delivering superior comfort and clarity.

 

Patients With Keratoconus or Irregular Corneas

Keratoconus causes the cornea to thin and bulge into a cone-like shape, making standard lenses ineffective. Specialty lenses such as scleral or hybrid contacts vault over the irregular cornea, providing a smooth optical surface for clearer vision.

 

Post-Surgical Patients

Individuals who have undergone LASIK, PRK, or corneal transplants may experience changes to the corneal shape that make traditional lenses uncomfortable or blurry. Specialty contact lenses in Columbus can help restore sharp, stable vision in these cases.

 

Those With Severe Dry Eye

Scleral lenses not only improve vision but also act as a protective barrier that keeps the eye hydrated throughout the day. Patients with chronic dry eye often find these lenses more comfortable than glasses or standard soft contacts.

 

People With High Prescriptions or Astigmatism

If you’ve been told your prescription is “too strong” or that contacts won’t work for your astigmatism, specialty lenses can help. Custom-designed lenses provide precise correction and stability, allowing for crisp, consistent vision.

 

Individuals With Presbyopia

For those struggling with age-related near vision loss, multifocal specialty lenses provide a seamless way to see clearly at all distances - without constantly switching between reading glasses and distance correction.

 

Why Choose Specialty Lenses?

The main advantage of specialty contact lenses is their personalized fit and function. They are tailored to your unique eye shape and vision requirements, ensuring better comfort, sharper vision, and improved eye health. At Coers Family Eyecare, we use advanced diagnostic imaging and fitting technology to design lenses that match your exact needs.
