Comfort. Clarity. Custom Care.

What Are Therapeutic Contact Lenses?

Therapeutic contact lenses are medically necessary lenses designed to treat specific eye conditions. Unlike standard lenses, they serve a dual purpose: improving vision for patients with corneal irregularities and providing relief for those suffering from moderate to severe dry eye disease.
​​​​​​​
These lenses are custom-designed to meet each patient’s unique needs and often provide life-changing results when glasses or conventional contacts fall short.

How Can Therapeutic Lenses Improve My Vision?

The front surface of your eye—called the cornea—must maintain a smooth, regular shape for crisp, clear vision. But certain conditions can distort the cornea, making it difficult or impossible to see well with glasses or standard contact lenses.
Therapeutic contact lenses are specially designed to restore clarity by masking these irregularities. By creating a new, optically smooth surface, they allow light to focus properly again.

Conditions that may benefit from therapeutic lenses include:

• Keratoconus

• Pellucid Marginal Degeneration

• Post-LASIK or Post-Radial Keratotomy Ectasia

• Corneal Transplants

• Corneal Scarring or Injury

• Corneal Dystrophies

Can These Lenses Help with Dry Eye?

Absolutely. For patients with severe dry eye, scleral lenses offer a powerful solution. These lenses vault over the cornea and trap a nourishing reservoir of fluid against the eye. The result is a soothing, hydrating barrier that relieves irritation, reduces dependency on artificial tears, and often improves vision at the same time.

Scleral lenses may benefit patients with:

• Dry Eye Syndrome (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca)

• Graft-versus-Host Disease

• Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency

• Neurotrophic or Exposure Keratopathy

• Sjögren’s Syndrome

• Stevens-Johnson Syndrome
