Specialist Contact Lenses
Some prescriptions, eye shapes and conditions need a more specialist approach — particularly where comfort, stability or clarity has been difficult to achieve before.
When standard lenses are not enough
At STOTTS., we fit specialist contact lenses for complex prescriptions, irregular corneas, keratoconus, post-surgical eyes and people who have struggled with standard lenses.
Designed around your eyes
Specialist contact lenses are carefully selected and fitted to your individual eye shape, prescription and visual needs. They may be recommended for:
Rigid and scleral lenses
RGP (rigid gas permeable) lenses can provide sharp, stable vision for many complex prescriptions. Scleral lenses are larger specialist lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye — often giving improved comfort and vision for more complex or irregular eyes.
Ongoing comfort and aftercare
Specialist contact lens fitting is not just about choosing a lens. It requires careful assessment, precise fitting, patient teaching and regular aftercare.
We guide you through the process clearly, so you understand your options and what is right for your eyes — and so your lenses stay comfortable, safe and effective over time.
