Specialty Contact Lenses

Not everyone is able to wear standard contact lenses, due to irregular eye shape or other eye conditions or impairments. Some of these eye conditions that prevent “hard to fit” patients from finding successful and comfortable vision correction include:

  • Dry Eyes
  • Astigmatism
  • Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC)
  • Keratoconus
  • Post-LASIK or other refractive surgery
  • Presbyopia

Though standard lenses may not work for these patients, there are specialized contact lenses sized for small eyes, contacts for dry eyes, contacts for specific eye conditions, such as keratoconus and challenging prescriptions. At Yonge St Clair Eye Centre we can help you find comfortable lenses that address your specific eye needs to give you clear vision.
