SPECIALTY CONTACT LENSES (SCLERAL LENSES)
As part of our commitment to innovation, we offer customized, specialty contact lenses (rigid gas permeable lenses and scleral lenses) for even for the most unique of eyes. We provide patients with corneal diseases and conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, corneal irregularities, corneal trauma etc. with customized scleral lenses that allow them to see better than in glasses.
KERATOCONUS
Keratoconus is an eye disease in which the normally round cornea thins and begins to bulge into a cone-like shape. It can occur in one or both eyes and often begins during a person's teens or early 20s.

CONTACT LENSES FOR COLOR BLINDNESS
Our doctors can fit and prescribe customized contact lenses to aid and enhance the perception of colors in patients with a color deficiency. These soft contact lenses work by changing the wavelength of each color going into one or both eyes, which enhances color perception and color discrimination.
This does not give perfect color perception, but rather it gives them the ability to identify more colors, shades and hues and to differentiate between them. These lenses are available in prescription and varying pupil sizes. Your optometrist will evaluate the best contact lens diameter, pupil size, fit, prescription and identify your eye dominance needed to fit these lenses.
CHROMAGEN
Chromagen therapy provides persons with color deficiency the ability to identify more colors, shades and hues and to differentiate between them. These are soft lenses available in a wide range of prescription powers including astigmatism correction.
X-CHROM LENSES
The X-Chrom lens is a monocular corneal contact lens that will intensify the colors of red and green objects in color deficient patients but the lens does not cure color deficiencies. These are not available with prescription power.
PROSTHETIC CONTACT LENSES
For a number of reasons, including eye injuries, one patient’s eye may appear differently than the other. Our doctors can fit and prescribe custom-tinted contact lenses to aesthetically match dissimilar appearing eyes, closely simulating the patterns and colors of the natural eye. This includes discolored or misshaped pupils and eyes that suffer from albinism, color vision deficiencies, or other ocular anomalies.
CUSTOM FIT
Our optometrists can properly evaluate and create a custom contact to match your cosmetic needs ranging from color enhancement, natural iris colors and pupil sizes.
WHAT ARE PROSTHETIC CONTACTS?
