Do You Struggle with Standard Contacts? Try Specialty Lenses

If wearing traditional contacts is difficult or even impossible due to front-of-eye conditions like dry eye, keratoconus, or severe astigmatism, you have what are known as “hard-to-fit“ eyes. Luckily, specialty contacts are the ideal solution for your unique circumstances, and we offer many kinds of specialty lenses to choose from.

Contact Lens Exams and Fittings

We provide dedicated contact lens exams to gather thorough information about your eyes and make informed decisions about your contact lens solutions. We’re sure to catch any front-of-eye conditions and ensure that your overall eye health is considered. And to prevent subpar vision caused by ill-fitting contacts, we provide you with a personalized fitting process to be certain your lenses have the comfortable feel and function you need!

Our Lens Options

Our wide range of specialty lenses offers advanced vision correction without the dependence on glasses, and can even help manage certain eye conditions.

Multifocal soft contact lens

Our Multifocal Soft Lenses

Different from typical, single-focus soft lenses, multifocals provide different focusing powers within a single lens, such as distance vision at the top of the lens and near vision at the bottom. These can correct for a wide variety of vision prescriptions and issues, including presbyopia (age-related farsightedness).

RGP Lenses

Our RGP Lenses

Different from standard soft contacts, rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses allow more oxygen to pass through them, which helps with certain cornea conditions. These individually customized lenses also adhere more closely to the eye’s surface, providing even better visual acuity, contrast, focusing power, and overall sharper vision correction.

Scleral Lenses

Our Scleral Lenses

These lenses are a great choice for people whose sensitive or diseased corneas don’t allow direct contact. Scleral lenses arc over the entire front of the eye while resting on the eye’s whites, or sclera. They also help patients with dry eye and related conditions, retaining moisture and providing protection from wind and dust.

Our Astigmatism Lenses

Astigmatism occurs when your cornea is football-shaped instead of round, and severe cases need specialized solutions. For this, we offer toric lenses that adhere to your unique corneal shape. These lenses provide both horizontal and vertical focusing ability, accounting for all manner of astigmatism prescriptions.

Our Lenses for Myopia

As part of our customizable myopia management programs, we offer industry-leading innovations that can help slow its progression and provide clear sight. Ortho-k and MiSight® lenses slow myopia’s development by adjusting the shape of the cornea overnight or reducing damaging eye strain — and we’ll take the time to choose the best solution for your child.

“I always have a great experience during my annual eye exam. The staff here is so friendly and makes you feel very welcome. I have been seeing Dr Traverse for many years and although thorough explains things in layman terms. It never feels like he is rushing to get you out the door.”

“The most thorough eye exams and evaluations I have ever had! Dr. Traverse is very knowledgeable and personable. They are not inexpensive, but worth it!”
Testimonial Quote

- Charlotte D.

“Dr. Traverse is wonderful! Very friendly, thorough, and conscientious. Over the years I have seen most of the clinic staff change, but the Doctors are always there. It gives me peace of mind to know my doctor knows my history, and also how best to communicate with me- using “shop talk” or layman’s terms when it best meets the needs of making sure I am aware of my eye health.”
