Contact Lens Services

Traditional hard lenses, typically made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), were the original contact lenses but have largely been replaced by more advanced materials.

Benefits:

• Durable and long-lasting
• Provide crisp vision correction
• Less prone to dehydration compared to soft lenses

Soft lenses are made from flexible, water-absorbing materials, making them comfortable and easy to adapt to.

Benefits:

• High initial comfort
• Available in various designs for different vision needs (e.g., toric for astigmatism, multifocal for presbyopia)
• Suitable for active lifestyles due to their stability

Multifocal lenses have different zones designed to correct vision at varying distances, similar to bifocal or progressive eyeglasses.

Benefits:

• Correct both near and distance vision in one lens
• Reduce the need for reading glasses
• Available in both soft and RGP materials

Limbal fit lenses are designed to rest on the limbus, the border area between the cornea and the sclera. They provide a broader fit compared to traditional corneal lenses.

Benefits:

• Increased stability and reduced lens movement
• Better comfort due to the reduced pressure on the cornea
• Suitable for irregular corneas or post-surgical eyes

• RGP lenses are made of a firm, durable plastic that transmits oxygen to the eye.

Benefits:

• Provide sharp vision correction
• Durable and long-lasting
• Resistant to deposit buildup
• Suitable for various corneal irregularities

Hybrid lenses combine a rigid gas-permeable (RGP) central zone with a soft outer skirt. This design aims to provide the visual clarity of RGP lenses with the comfort of soft lenses.

Benefits:

• Sharp vision correction like RGP lenses
• Improved comfort due to the soft outer skirt
• Suitable for irregular corneas and conditions like keratoconus

Scleral lenses are large-diameter lenses that vault over the entire corneal surface and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye).

Benefits:

• Excellent for severe dry eyes as they create a tear-filled vault over the cornea
• Stable and comfortable, with minimal movement
• Ideal for irregular corneas, including keratoconus and post-surgery conditions

Full-scleral lenses are a subtype of scleral lenses that cover the entire corneal surface and extend onto the sclera.

Benefits:

• Provide a stable fit with minimal movement
• Create a tear reservoir beneficial for severe dry eye
• Excellent for protecting and healing the corneal surface

Mini-scleral lenses are smaller than full scleral lenses but still rest on the sclera, providing many of the same benefits.

Benefits:

• Easier to handle and insert than full scleral lenses
• Still, provides the comfort and stability of scleral lenses
• Suitable for less severe cases of corneal irregularities

Semi-scleral lenses are intermediate in size, resting partly on the cornea and partly on the sclera.

Benefits:

• Provide stability and comfort
• Suitable for moderately irregular corneas
• Easier adaptation for some users compared to full-scleral lenses
