Specialty Contact Lenses for Complex Vision Needs
If you’ve been told you’re “hard to fit” or struggle with traditional soft lenses, specialty contact lenses may be the answer. At Normandy Optical, our doctors provide precision fittings for scleral lenses, Ortho-K lenses, hybrid lenses, and custom RGPs, giving you clear, comfortable vision.
Who benefits from specialty contact lenses?
Specialty contact lenses are ideal for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye, high astigmatism, or progressive myopia. They’re also a great option for those seeking a non-surgical alternative to LASIK. Using advanced corneal imaging, our doctors custom-fit each lens to deliver comfort, clarity, and long-term results.
Scleral lenses for ultimate stability & comfort
Scleral contact lenses are larger, gas-permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye (sclera). They create a tear-filled chamber that helps:
- Provide sharp, stable vision
- Improve comfort for irregular or dry corneas
- Protect and hydrate the eye throughout the day
Sclerals are often the best choice for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical scarring, or chronic dry eye.
Ortho-K for myopia control & surgery-free vision correction
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) lenses are worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea. In the morning, you remove the lenses and see clearly – no glasses or daytime contacts needed.
Ortho-K is ideal for:
- Kids and teens with progressive myopia
- Adults looking for a non-surgical alternative to LASIK
- Active individuals who want freedom from glasses during the day
Ortho-K has the added benefit of slowing myopia progression in children, making it part of our comprehensive myopia management program.
Hybrid & custom RGP lenses for unique eyes
Our optometrists ensure a perfect fit through detailed corneal measurements and one-on-one follow-ups.
Precision fitting, follow-up, and ongoing care
We don’t just fit specialty contact lenses. We create a care plan around them. Our doctors use detailed corneal mapping to guide trial fittings and lens customization while providing hands-on training for safe lens use and care. With ongoing follow-up, we help ensure lasting comfort, clarity, and long-term eye health.
