Specialty Contact Lenses in Provo, UT

At Slate Canyon Eye Care in Provo, UT, we understand that every patient’s eyes are unique. That’s why we offer specialty contact lenses tailored to meet the specific needs of kids and adults, providing clear, comfortable vision for a variety of conditions. Whether your child needs correction for a complex refractive issue or you’re looking for comfort with your existing condition, we have the right contact lenses for you.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom-designed to treat specific eye conditions and offer better vision and comfort than standard lenses. These lenses are ideal for people with:

• Astigmatism: A condition where the cornea is irregularly shaped, causing blurry or distorted vision.

• Keratoconus: A progressive thinning of the cornea that causes distorted vision and may require specially fitted lenses.

• Dry Eyes: If you suffer from chronic dry eyes, specialty contact lenses can help reduce discomfort and improve moisture retention.

• Myopia and Hyperopia: For both near and farsightedness, specialty lenses can provide better vision correction.

• Post-Surgical Vision: After eye surgeries, such as LASIK or corneal transplants, specialty lenses can help restore optimal vision.

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses We Offer

1. Scleral Lenses: These large-diameter lenses rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) and vault over the cornea, providing a smooth surface for vision correction. Scleral lenses are ideal for people with irregular corneas or severe dry eyes.

2. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses: These lenses provide sharper vision by offering a rigid surface that resists deposits and can be more comfortable than soft lenses for some wearers.

3. Orthokeratology (Ortho-K): These are specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to gently reshape the cornea, correcting myopia and allowing for clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contacts.

4. Toric Lenses for Astigmatism: These lenses are specially designed for those with astigmatism, providing clear vision by correcting the uneven curvature of the cornea.

5. Custom Soft Contact Lenses: For people with unique needs or specific conditions, we offer custom soft lenses that can be designed for your exact prescription and comfort.

Why Choose Specialty Contact Lenses?

• Better Vision: Specialty lenses provide clearer, sharper vision, especially for those with complex prescriptions.

• Improved Comfort: If traditional lenses cause discomfort or dryness, specialty lenses can offer relief and more comfortable all-day wear.

• Custom Fit: Each pair of specialty lenses is custom-designed to match your eyes’ unique needs, ensuring optimal fit and vision quality.

• Freedom from Glasses: Many people prefer the convenience of contact lenses over wearing glasses. Specialty lenses can help you enjoy that freedom without compromising your eye health.
