Toric Lenses

If you have astigmatism, the front part of your eye curves sharply to resemble the point of a football. This causes blurred vision and makes it difficult to keep standard contacts in place.

Toric lenses are used to work around astigmatism. Since the lens needs to align with the bulge on the front of your eye, toric lenses are designed not to rotate so they fit your eye properly. Because toric contacts for astigmatism are specially made to correct your eye’s specific shape, this type of lens costs more than traditional contacts.

Bifocal and Multifocal Lenses

Presbyopia, a normal age-related vision condition that makes it difficult to see things up close, traditionally requires you to either use reading glasses or bifocal eyewear. With bifocal and multifocal lenses, you can continue to wear your preferred form of vision correction with two or more prescriptions needed to see far away and up close.

Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses

If you have an uncommon condition called keratoconus, wearing contacts may be very uncomfortable. The condition describes a thin cornea that allows the eye to bulge forward, forming a cone shape.

Rigid gas permeable (GP) lenses replaced hard lenses because they’re more oxygen permeable for healthier eyes. GP lenses are a good choice for patients with keratoconus and make good contacts for astigmatism, too. They also come in bifocal form for patients with presbyopia.

Cosmetic Contact Lenses

You can order cosmetic lenses from your eye doctor in different colors to camouflage irregularities in your irises or transform your eyes for Halloween. Cosmetic lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription form.
