Exploring the Benefits of Specialty Contact Lenses

If you’ve ever been told you’re “not a good candidate” for contact lenses, you’re not alone. Many people in The Woodlands and surrounding areas struggle with vision conditions that make traditional soft contacts uncomfortable or ineffective. But that doesn’t mean you have to settle for glasses. Specialty contact lenses offer customized solutions for people with unique vision needs, and at Creekside Family Eyecare, we’re here to help you find the perfect fit.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Unlike standard soft contacts, specialty contact lenses are designed for individuals with more complex prescriptions or conditions like keratoconus, dry eye, astigmatism, or presbyopia. These lenses offer greater comfort, clearer vision, and a tailored fit—especially for those who have struggled with contacts in the past.

Who Can Benefit from Specialty Contact Lenses?

Many of our patients in The Woodlands and nearby areas, including Spring, Tomball, and Magnolia, are surprised to learn they have more options than they thought. Specialty lenses can be life-changing for:

• People with Astigmatism – If you’ve had trouble with soft toric lenses shifting on your eye or not providing sharp vision, custom-designed specialty lenses can offer more stable and precise correction.

• Keratoconus Patients – This condition causes the cornea to become irregularly shaped, making it difficult to wear traditional lenses. Scleral lenses, which vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye), provide both comfort and clarity.

• Individuals with Dry Eye Syndrome – Scleral lenses are also an excellent option for dry eye sufferers, as they create a reservoir of moisture that helps relieve discomfort.

• Presbyopia and Multifocal Needs – If you’re tired of constantly switching between reading glasses and distance vision, multifocal specialty contacts can give you seamless vision at all distances.

• Post-Surgical and Irregular Cornea Cases – Patients who have had LASIK, RK, or other eye surgeries sometimes struggle with contacts. Custom lenses can help correct any residual vision issues.
