If you spend hours on your computer, you may have experienced some symptoms of eye strain. The digital age has seen a rise in Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

If you want to switch to contact lenses, make an appointment with an optometrist immediately. They will perform a thorough eye examination and assessment of your suitability for contact lens wear.

These are large, custom-made contact lenses used to correct vision problems in people with conditions affecting the eye's front surface. Examples of such conditions include keratoconus or corneal scarring. Made of a rigid, gas-permeable material, they vault over the cornea and fit over the white part of the eye, the sclera.

Ortho-k lenses are special custom-made contacts designed to reshape the cornea while the patient sleeps. Most users experience a little discomfort when they start wearing the lenses, but comfort improves as the cornea reshapes. 

Scleral lenses offer a nonsurgical solution for patients with astigmatism. They provide excellent vision correction for people with irregular corneal curvature. Unlike regular soft contacts that lie directly on the cornea, scleral lenses rest on the white of the eye, the sclera. 

Contact lenses are a convenient and effective alternative to eyeglasses. However, certain eye conditions can make wearing regular contacts difficult or even impossible. That is where specialty contact lenses come in handy.
