Management of Eye Diseases
The glasses and contact lenses available today cannot address everyone’s visual needs. If the shape of your eye falls outside the parameters that can be effectively managed with traditional eyewear, we offer specialty lenses such as Scleral Lenses and Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lenses that may be right for you.
We specialize in these types of hard to fit lenses, which can enable you to see more clearly and with greater comfort.

Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are a hidden gem in the contact lens world, offering a perfect fit for those with complex vision challenges. Unlike traditional lenses that rest on your cornea, scleral lenses vault over it, creating a fluid reservoir for exceptional comfort. This innovative design is ideal for people with dry eyes, irregular corneas, or those who haven’t achieved optimal vision with standard lenses.
Effective for:
- Athletes who require the clarity and stability of vision
- LASIK post-surgery
- Keratoconus (cone-shaped cornea)
- Discomfort with hard contact lenses (RGPs)
- Extremely dry eyes
- Chronic inflammation
- Decreased vision from high myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism
- Cornea transplant patients
- Symptoms caused by Sjogren’s syndrome, Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), or Stevens-Johnson syndrome
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses
Rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses are a unique option for those seeking exceptional clarity and sharpness of vision. Unlike soft lenses that conform to your cornea, RGP lenses retain their shape, providing superior vision correction, particularly for individuals with astigmatism or irregular corneas. These durable lenses are also oxygen-permeable, promoting healthy eyes.
Effective for:
- Extremely dry eyes
- People with irregular corneas
- Those seeking sharper vision
- Decreased vision from high myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism
- Individuals who haven’t achieved optimal vision with soft lenses
- Symptoms caused by Pellucid Marginal Degeneration (PMD) or Keratoconus
Management of Presbyopia
Presbyopia is an age-related condition that affects your ability to focus on near objects. It’s a very common part of aging, typically starting around mid-40s. You might find yourself holding reading materials farther away or experiencing eye strain from close-up tasks. We offer Multifocal Lenses, Monovision Lenses, and FDA Approved Therapeutic Eye Drops to help you see clearly again.

Multifocal Soft/Hard Lenses
Multifocal contact lenses can help if you develop presbyopia along with more than one other refractive condition such as myopia or astigmatism.
There are a few types of multifocal contact lenses, such as progressive contacts with a gradient of prescription and bifocals with two main prescriptions.
Ask us about multifocal lenses, and we will help you decide which best fits your needs!
Effective for:
- Existing contact lens wearers who use additional reading glasses
- Decreased vision from myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or astigmatism in addition to Presbyopia
Monovision Soft/Hard
Monovisio lenses work by correcting each eye for a different task: one lens for distance vision and the other for near vision. This may sound strange, but your brain adjusts to prioritize the image from each eye, giving you clear sight at both far and close distances. While there’s an adjustment period, monovision lenses offer an advantage over reading glasses by letting you switch focus without needing to take anything on or off.
Effective for:
- Extremely dry eyes
- Decreased vision from high myopia (nearsightedness) or astigmatism
- Individuals who want contacts and want to avoid bifocals or reading glasses
- Individuals who are good candidates for LASIK monovision surgery but want to try a non-surgical option first
- Individuals with good depth perception
FDA Approved Therapeutic Eye Drops
FDA-approved presbyopia eye drops like Vuity and Qlosi offer temporary relief from blurry close-up sight. These work by adjusting your pupil size, letting you focus better on reading materials or phone screens. While not a permanent fix, they can be a handy tool for daily activities.
Effective for:
- Discomfort with hard contact lenses (RGPs)
- Extremely dry eyes
- Individuals who prefer not wearing glasses or contact lenses
- Individuals with multiple pairs of glasses, who want to reduce dependence on both reading glasses and distance glasses
Options for Active Adults
While glasses offer clear vision, active adults may find them impractical. Glasses can slip during exercise, fog up with sweat, and limit your peripheral vision.
Consider contact lenses such as Scleral Lenses for a secure, comfortable fit that keeps up with your active lifestyle, or try Ortho-K lenses to forgo daytime contacts entirely. Enjoy unobstructed vision and worry-free movement, whether you’re hitting the gym, chasing after the kids, or conquering your next adventure.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses
Unlike regular contacts or glasses that can bounce around or fog up during exercise, Ortho-K lenses are worn overnight and gently reshape your cornea for clear vision all day. This means you can hit the field, court, or gym without worrying about glasses slipping or contacts drying out – perfect for anyone who wants uninterrupted vision during their active lifestyle.
Effective for:
- Athletes who require the clarity and stability of vision
- Extremely dry eyes
- Chronic inflammation
- Decreased vision from high myopia (nearsightedness)
- Slowing the progression of myopia
