Hard to Fit Contacts vs Regular Contacts

When it comes to vision correction, you have options. Eyeglasses are a common choice but contact lenses offer convenience and comfort for many. If you're considering contacts, one decision is whether to go with regular lenses or specialty fittings for hard to fit eyes. Understanding the differences can help you find the best vision solution. Here at Advanced Eyecare in Las Vegas, NV, we want to help you understand the differences. An “optometrist near me” is here to help.

What Makes Eyes Hard to Fit?

Not all eyes are equal when it comes to contact lenses. Some have unique characteristics that make getting a proper fit tricky. Some factors include:

●             Dry eyes - Lenses can irritate eyes that don't produce enough natural tears.

●             Astigmatism - This irregular curvature of the eye makes finding the right lens shape difficult.

●             Sensitive eyes - Allergies, medications, and other issues may make contacts uncomfortable.

If you have any of these conditions, you may need specialty contact lenses.

Choosing Hard to Fit Lenses

Hard to fit contact lenses are designed for challenging eyes. They come in materials, shapes, and sizes to accommodate specific issues. Options include:

●             Custom lenses - Made to match your unique eye shape.

●             Toric lenses - Can correct astigmatism.

●             Dry eye lenses - Prevent eyes from drying out.

●             Bifocal/multifocal lenses - Allow clear near and distance vision.
