Introduction:
At Griffin Eyecare, we understand that each patient is unique and may have specific vision needs that require specialized contact lenses. That's why we offer expert specialty contact lens fittings to help patients with various eye conditions, such as keratoconus, dry eye syndrome, and corneal dystrophies and diseases. Our experienced team is here to help you find the perfect lenses to improve your vision and enhance your comfort.
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
RGP lenses, also known as hard contact lenses, are made from a durable material that allows oxygen to pass through to the eyes. These lenses offer several benefits, including:
-
Sharper vision: RGP lenses maintain their shape on the eye, providing clearer vision, especially for those with astigmatism or higher prescriptions.
-
Longer-lasting: RGP lenses are more durable than soft lenses, meaning they can last longer with proper care.
-
Reduced risk of infection: RGP lenses are less likely to harbor bacteria, resulting in a lower risk of eye infections.
​
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are large-diameter, gas-permeable lenses that rest on the white part of the eye (the sclera) and vault over the cornea. They are ideal for patients with the following conditions:
-
Keratoconus: Scleral lenses provide a stable, comfortable fit and improved vision for those with irregular corneal shapes caused by keratoconus.
-
Dry eye syndrome: The space between the lens and the cornea acts as a reservoir for tears, providing relief for those with dry eyes.
-
Post-surgical complications: Patients who have undergone corneal transplants, LASIK, or other eye surgeries can benefit from the comfort and stability offered by scleral lenses.
