Specialty Contact Lenses in Phoenix
If you have keratoconus, irregular corneas, or have been told you are hard to fit, specialty contact lenses may help. Our Central Phoenix eye care practice focuses on custom designs that improve clarity.
Specialty Contact Lens Care and Follow-Up
Specialty lenses require careful care, but most patients find the routine easy once they are familiar with it. Our team teaches you how to insert and remove your lenses, clean them, and use the appropriate solutions.
We review each step with you until you feel confident. Regular follow-up appointments help us monitor your eye health and the condition of your lenses.
If your vision or comfort changes, we can adjust the design or wear schedule. Our goal is long-term success, not just a single fitting.
Common reasons patients are referred for a specialty fit
Specialty lenses are often helpful when standard soft lenses cannot deliver clear, comfortable vision. Many patients come to us because contacts feel fine for an hour, then become irritating, blurry, or unstable.
This type of fitting is most common for keratoconus and irregular corneas, including patients who have been told they are hard to fit. It can also help when high astigmatism or dry eye symptoms make standard lenses difficult to tolerate.
Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus and Irregular Corneas
Scleral lenses are larger custom lenses designed to rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye, rather than on the cornea. That design can create a smoother optical surface and improve stability for patients with keratoconus or irregular corneas.
Many patients notice less shifting and clearer vision compared with standard contacts. If you have struggled with contacts elsewhere, scleral lenses may be the option that finally feels workable.

How We Fit Specialty Contact Lenses
A specialty fitting starts with a detailed evaluation of your vision and corneal shape. We use Pentacam corneal imaging to map the cornea and guide lens design.
After measurements, we assess trial lenses, then fine-tune the fit over follow-up visits. The goal is a lens that feels comfortable, stays stable, and supports clear vision throughout your day.
