Super permeable lenses can be worn for several days or weeks continuously. They are particularly beneficial for patients who have handling difficulties.
As keratoconus progresses, specialist RGP contact lenses, and hybrid or scleral designs can provide good visual correction even in advanced cases.
We have several options for presbyopic patients to obtain a good visual range, combining distance and reading prescriptions in bifocal and multifocal contact lenses.
We provide cosmetic and prosthetic contact lenses for film and TV as well as to help patients hide disfiguring eye conditions or change the colour of their eyes.
Chromagen contact lens tints may help some people with colour vision difficulties and may ease visual stress symptoms in some people with reading challenges.
Hybrid contact lenses have an RGP centre with a soft surround, combining the comfort of a soft lens with the visual acuity of a hard RGP lens.
Piggyback fitting places a hard RGP lens on top of a soft lens providing a flexible system to help even the most challenging patients.
Scleral contact lenses are very large rigid gas permeable contact lenses which fit onto the sclera or white of the eye, used when the corneal surface is very irregular or dry.
Mini-scleral RGP lenses, provide the benefits of a scleral lens in a smaller design. They can provide good vision, for irregular eyes with a stable, comfortable fit.
Orthokeratology treatment involves wearing specially designed rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, during sleep, to gently re-mould the cornea to correct myopia (short-sight).
Standard contact lenses may not fit very well following corneal refractive surgery but there are specialist contact lenses which can provide comfortable clear vision.
