Get a Contact Lens Exam & Fitting
Before we can recommend contact lenses, we’ll need to perform a comprehensive exam and fitting process. This helps us determine your candidacy for contact lenses and allows us to examine your eyes for potential concerns that our specialty contact lenses could help address.
To learn more about our contact lens, please visit our Contact Lens Exams & Fittings page for more information.
Our Specialty Contacts
Traditional contact lenses can help address common refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. However, if you struggle with conditions like dry eye, astigmatism, presbyopia, or keratoconus, you may need a specialty lens to address your symptoms and provide clear sight.
Our featured list of specialty lenses include:
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are popular for addressing a few different eye concerns, most commonly dry eye and keratoconus.
These lenses are larger than traditional rigid gas permeable (RGP) contacts lenses, allowing them to rest on your eyes’ sclera (the white part). Because of their size, the centre of the lens “vaults” over your cornea, providing a little bit of space between the lens and eye.
This space also allows tears to accumulate between the cornea and contact lens, which can help address uncomfortable dry eye symptoms. If you have keratoconus, the fluid between your cornea and the contact lens creates a ‘normal’ refracting surface so your vision is very clear.
Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal contact lenses are designed with multiple prescriptions to help wearers see near and far distances.
Presbyopia is a common eye condition people develop as they age, and it can affect their eye’s ability to focus on up-close objects. Multifocal lenses can help address this issue and provide clear sight.
Multifocal Toric Lenses
Multifocal toric lenses are for people with presbyopia and astigmatism. The optics are complicated, but they may be worth trialing to see if you achieve comfortable, functional vision.
By combining a unique lens design with multiple prescriptions, these lenses can provide clear, comfortable vision at a range of distances.
RGP Lenses
Rigid gas-permeable lenses, or RGP lenses, are made of unique plastic materials that allow oxygen to pass through and keep your eyes comfortable.
We may recommend these lenses to help address dry eye symptoms, or if you’re looking for crisper vision and better durability than traditional soft contact lenses.
