Hard to Fit Contact Lenses
Do you want contact lenses, but have a unique eye condition? Our optometrists can help you out. Keep reading for more information on hard to fit contacts.
Eye Conditions for Hard to Fit Contacts
There are a variety of eye conditions where the patient may need a special type of contacts due to the condition they have. These conditions include astigmatism, presbyopia, and diseases of the cornea.
Astigmatism is where you don’t see well due to the curve of the front part of your eye, similar to that of a football. This curve causes blurry vision, and also makes it hard to wear regular contacts.
Presbyopia is a common condition where it is hard to see things close up. Special lenses can be made so that those with this condition can choose to wear contact lenses.
Hard to Fit Contacts
Luckily, you can still wear contacts if you have any of the above eye conditions. There are several types of hard to fit contacts that you can wear, based on the eye condition you have. Toric lenses, bifocal and multifocal lenses, and rigid gas permeable lenses allow you to enjoy wearing contacts with any of these conditions.
Toric lenses are specially designed to fit around the bulge created by astigmatism. These lenses will not rotate and will fit the shape of your eye. These cost more than regular contacts since they are specially made contacts.
Bifocal and multifocal lenses are great for those with presbyopia. You can order two or more prescriptions so that you can see close and far away.
