Specialty Contact Lenses in San Ramon, CA

For some patients, standard soft contact lenses do not provide the comfort, stability, or clarity they need. Specialty contact lenses are designed for eyes that require a more customized approach, including irregular corneas, keratoconus, high prescriptions, dry eye, or past difficulty wearing contacts.

At Optometric Center & Eyewear Galleria in San Ramon, CA, we offer personalized specialty contact lens fittings using advanced technology and carefully selected lens designs. Our goal is to help you achieve clearer, more comfortable vision with lenses that are tailored to the shape and needs of your eyes.

Precision Lens Fitting with Advanced Technology

A successful specialty contact lens fit starts with detailed measurements. Our office uses the Eaglet Eye Surface Profiler (ESP) to capture a highly detailed map of the eye’s surface. This technology helps us evaluate the cornea and sclera so we can design lenses with greater precision.

For patients with keratoconus, this level of customization is especially important. Keratoconus can cause the cornea to become irregular in shape, making traditional glasses or standard contacts less effective. With advanced imaging and careful fitting, we can recommend specialty lenses that improve visual clarity while supporting long-term comfort.

Specialty Lens Options We Offer

Every eye is different, which is why your lens recommendation should be based on your prescription, eye shape, comfort needs, and vision goals. Specialty contact lens options may include:

Scleral lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye for improved comfort and stability
Hybrid lenses that combine the clarity of a rigid lens with the comfort of a soft lens skirt
Custom lenses for keratoconus and irregular corneas
Specialty contact lenses for patients who have struggled with standard soft contacts
Personalized fitting with the Eaglet Eye Surface Profiler for more accurate lens design

Scleral Lenses for Comfort and Clearer Vision

Scleral lenses are often recommended for patients with keratoconus, dry eye, irregular corneas, or vision that cannot be fully corrected with standard lenses. Because scleral lenses create a smooth optical surface over the cornea, they can help reduce distortion and improve visual quality.

Patients who have been told they are difficult to fit for contact lenses may benefit from a scleral lens evaluation. These lenses are custom designed to fit the unique shape of your eyes, helping improve both clarity and wearing comfort.

Hybrid Lenses for a Balanced Fit

Hybrid contact lenses may be a good option for patients who want the sharp optics of a rigid lens but prefer a softer feel. The center of the lens provides crisp vision, while the soft outer skirt helps improve comfort and lens positioning. During your specialty contact lens exam, our doctors will determine whether hybrid lenses, scleral lenses, or another option is best suited for your needs.
