Specialty Contact Lenses at New View Eye Care in Berkley, Michigan

putting a contact lense

Contact lenses offer freedom, comfort, and clear vision for millions of people. However, not every eye can be successfully fitted with standard soft lenses. For patients with unique eye conditions or complex prescriptions, specialty contact lenses provide advanced solutions that can dramatically improve vision and quality of life. At New View Eye Care in Berkley, Michigan, our experienced optometrist is trained in fitting and managing specialty lenses to help patients achieve their best possible vision.

Why Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty lenses are designed for patients whose eyes require more than conventional lenses can provide. They are often recommended for conditions such as:

  • Keratoconus and other corneal irregularities
  • Post-surgical corneas (such as after LASIK or corneal transplants)
  • High prescriptions or significant astigmatism
  • Dry eye syndrome, where standard contacts may cause discomfort
  • Presbyopia, to allow clear vision at multiple distances

These advanced lenses are carefully tailored to the unique shape and health of each eye, ensuring both clarity and comfort.

Some Types of Specialty Lenses

At New View Eye Care, we work with a variety of specialty lens technologies, including:

  • Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: Small, firm lenses that provide sharp vision for irregular corneas.
  • Scleral Lenses: Larger lenses that rest on the sclera (the white of the eye), vaulting over the cornea to create a smooth optical surface. These lenses are excellent for keratoconus and severe dry eye.
  • Hybrid Lenses: Combining the clarity of a rigid lens with the comfort of a soft lens.
  • Multifocal and Bifocal Lenses: Designed for patients who need correction for both distance and near vision.

The Role of a Skilled Optometrist

Successfully fitting specialty contact lenses requires advanced training, precision, and patience. At New View Eye Care, our optometrists take the time to carefully evaluate your eyes, using modern diagnostic tools to map the cornea and assess overall eye health. From there, we design a lens that matches the exact contour of your eye.

A proper fit is essential not only for clear vision, but also for long-term eye comfort and health. Our team provides ongoing support, adjustments, and education so you can wear your lenses with confidence. Because specialty lenses often require fine-tuning, follow-up visits are an important part of the process, ensuring that your vision remains sharp and your eyes stay healthy.
