• 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.
