Speciality Contact Lenses

Specialty lenses in ophthalmology refer to contact lenses designed to address complex vision needs and eye conditions that standard contact lenses cannot effectively manage. These lenses, often customized, cater to individuals with conditions like keratoconus, post-surgical eyes, severe dry eye, underlying any systemic conditions or high prescriptions. They provide improved comfort, vision correction, and can be a solution for those who haven’t found success with traditional soft contact lenses. 

Types of Speciality Contact Lenses:

1 . Scleral Lenses :

Scleral lenses are large-diameter, rigid gas permeable contact lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye) and vault over the cornea, creating a tear-filled space. They are a valuable tool in ophthalmology for managing various corneal and ocular surface conditions, offering both visual correction and therapeutic benefits. 

Key features and uses of scleral lenses :

For Keratoconus and Corneal Irregularities: Scleral lenses are particularly useful for patients with keratoconus and other corneal ectatic diseases, as well as those with irregular astigmatism, where they can improve vision by creating a smooth optical surface. 
Ocular Surface Disease Management: Scleral lenses can protect the ocular surface, provide continuous hydration, and promote healing in conditions like dry eye, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and neurotrophic keratitis.
Visual Rehabilitation: They can be used to improve vision in patients with irregular astigmatism, post-surgical corneas, and other conditions where traditional contact lenses or glasses may not be sufficient. 
Advanced Technology: Modern scleral lenses incorporate advanced designs and materials, including high oxygen permeability and custom fitting options like wavefront-guided systems, to optimize visual outcomes. 
Therapeutic Applications: Beyond visual correction, scleral lenses are used therapeutically to protect the ocular surface, deliver medication, and manage pain associated with certain ocular surface disorders. 
Improved Comfort and Vision: Compared to traditional corneal gas permeable lenses, scleral lenses often offer better comfort and enhanced visual acuity, especially in cases of corneal irregularities.

2 . Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses :

Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, also known as GP or hard contact lenses, are a type of contact lens that allows oxygen to pass through to the eye, offering benefits like sharper vision, durability, and reduced deposit buildup. They are particularly useful for correcting astigmatism and keratoconus due to their ability to maintain their shape and provide a smooth surface over the irregular cornea. 

Key Features and Benefits:

Oxygen Permeability: RGP lenses are designed with materials that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea, promoting healthy eye function and reducing the risk of complications. 
Sharp Vision: RGP lenses maintain their shape on the eye, providing more stable and clearer vision compared to soft lenses, especially for individuals with astigmatism or keratoconus. 
Durability and Longevity: RGP lenses are more durable than soft lenses and are resistant to protein deposits and tears, leading to a longer lifespan and potentially lower long-term costs. 
Reduced Dryness: Some RGP lenses are designed to maintain moisture, potentially reducing dry eye symptoms. 
Customization: RGP lenses can be custom-fitted to the unique curvature of the eye, ensuring optimal comfort and vision correction.

3 . Rose K lenses :

Rose K lenses are a specialized type of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens designed to improve vision in individuals with keratoconus, a condition where the cornea thins and bulges into a cone shape. These lenses offer a tailored fit for the unique corneal shape in keratoconus, improving visual acuity and comfort compared to traditional contact lenses. Rose K lenses are highly customizable, with a complex geometry designed to address the uneven corneal surface and associated astigmatism and myopia. 

Types of Rose K Lenses :

4 . Ortho-k lenses :

Ortho-k lenses, also known as orthokeratology lenses, are specially designed, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses that are worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and correct refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism. These lenses are an alternative to glasses or daytime contact lenses, providing clear vision during the day without the need for correction while worn. 

How Ortho-k Lenses Work :

Overnight Reshaping: Ortho-k lenses are worn while sleeping and gently apply pressure to the cornea, reshaping its curvature. 
Temporary Correction: The reshaping is temporary, so the lenses need to be worn regularly to maintain the corrected vision. 
Improved Vision: Upon removal in the morning, the reshaped cornea allows light to focus properly on the retina, resulting in clear vision without needing daytime correction. 
Improved Vision: Upon removal in the morning, the reshaped cornea allows light to focus properly on the retina, resulting in clear vision without needing daytime correction.

Benefits of Ortho-k Lenses :

Non-Surgical Vision Correction: Ortho-k offers a non-surgical option for vision correction, particularly for those who are not suitable for or prefer to avoid LASIK or other refractive surgeries. 
Good for Children: Ortho-k is often used as a myopia management tool for children and teenagers, helping to slow down the progression of near-sightedness. 
Convenient for Athletes and Active Individuals: The ability to see clearly without glasses or contacts during the day is particularly beneficial for athletes and those with active lifestyles.

5 . Prosthetic Eye :

Prosthetic contact lenses are special lenses that cover the cornea if the cornea has become opaque or cloudy. The unique lens is designed to blend in with the other eye. A customized and detailed paint-job is required to match the other eye and make the prosthetic eye look as real as possible.

6 . Prosthetic Eye Soft Contact Lens:

Custom-made lenses designed to change the appearance of the eye (e.g color, shape), masks scars, discoloration & improves cosmetic appearance. They can be used for :

These lenses are tailored to individual needs, providing a natural appearance and boosting confidence.
