Hard To Fit Contacts

Hard To Fit Contact Lenses

It is not uncommon for patients to have difficulty wearing contact lenses for a number of reasons. Due to the individual eye shape, certain conditions or impairments or the aftermath of surgery, some patients are considered to be “hard to fit” as contact lens wearers.

For hard to fit patients that prefer to wear contact lenses, there are options available that can provide comfortable and effective contact lens wear. This will require a specialized fitting with an eye doctor that is an expert that knows your condition and the various products available to find the right match for your specific condition. You may be considered a hard to fit contact lens candidate if you have one of the following conditions:

• Dry Eyes

• Astigmatism

• Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC)

• Keratoconus

• Pellucid Marginal Degeneration

• Post-LASIK or other refractive surgery

• Presbyopia (reduced near vision common in individuals aged 40 and over).

• Corneal Scarring
