In some instances, special visual needs (such as presbyopia or keratoconus) demand specialty contact lenses. Our doctors are proficient in specialty contact lens fittings for complicated eyes and receive referrals from outside offices for their expertise & experience. Below is a sampling of the custom lens services that are available.
Please note that contact lens exams are separate from routine eye exams. This is especially true for specialty fits as each lens is customized to your eye. Your contact lens fitting fee will include all necessary contact lens follow-ups within the first 3 months to finalize and perfect your prescription.
