Our Gilbert eye care team at Premier Eyecare of Arizona offers specialty contact lenses for patients with unique eye conditions or complex prescriptions. If standard contact lenses are uncomfortable or do not provide clear vision, specialty lenses may offer a better fit and improved visual performance.

At Premier Eyecare of Arizona, we offer customized specialty contact lenses designed to address a wide range of vision needs.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom designed lenses created to address specific eye conditions that standard lenses may not fully correct. These lenses are often recommended for patients who require more precise vision correction or additional eye surface support.

Specialty lenses can help patients with:

  • Irregular corneas
  • Astigmatism that is difficult to correct with standard lenses
  • Keratoconus
  • Dry eye symptoms related to lens wear
  • Post surgical corneal changes

Because these lenses are carefully fitted to the shape of your eye, they can provide improved stability and visual clarity.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses

Several types of specialty lenses may be recommended depending on your condition and prescription.

  • Scleral lenses, which vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera
  • Rigid gas permeable lenses, which provide crisp vision for certain prescriptions
  • Hybrid lenses, which combine a rigid center with a soft outer ring
  • Custom toric lenses designed for advanced astigmatism correction

Benefits of Specialty Contact Lenses

  • Sharper vision for irregular corneas
  • Improved comfort for certain eye conditions
  • Greater lens stability
  • Customized fit for unique prescriptions
  • An alternative to glasses for complex vision needs
