When Soft Lenses Aren’t Enough: Specialty Contact Lenses
For some eyes, standard soft contact lenses are not the best solution for clear, comfortable vision. When this happens, our clinic offers several advanced specialty contact lens options.
Why Choose Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses:
These small, fully customizable hard contact lenses are ideal for patients who struggle to get clear vision from soft lenses.
-
High Prescriptions & Astigmatism: RGP lenses provide exceptional optic clarity, even for complex prescriptions.
-
Multifocal Options: They are an excellent solution for patients looking to eliminate the need for reading glasses.
What is Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT) Contact Lenses:
Think of CRT contacts as vision-correcting retainers for the cornea. They are primarily used in pediatric patients (as young as 5 years old) to help slow the progression of nearsightedness, a treatment called Myopia Control.
-
Overnight Correction: CRT lenses are only worn at night, gently reshaping the cornea while the patient sleeps.
-
Glasses-Free Days: Upon waking and removing the lenses, the patient enjoys clear vision all day without needing contacts or glasses.
-
Lifestyle Benefits: They are ideal for children, athletes, or patients who work in very dusty environments.
Are Hybrid Contact Lenses Right for You?
If you have tried hard contact lenses in the past but found them uncomfortable, hybrid contact lenses might be your perfect match.
-
The Best of Both Worlds: The center of the lens is made of rigid RGP material for sharp clarity, while the outer “skirt” is made of a soft lens material for all-day comfort.
-
Ditch the Readers: Like RGPs, hybrid lenses are available in multifocal designs to help patients transition away from reading glasses.
How Do Scleral Contact Lenses Help Irregular Corneas?
Some patients have been told they will never achieve clear vision with glasses or contacts due to the shape of their corneas. At Peak Eyecare, we use advanced technology to create highly detailed topographic maps of your cornea. If your cornea’s surface looks like the San Juans—full of steep peaks and valleys—no pair of glasses will ever provide adequate vision.
Scleral lenses are the gold standard for these complex cases. This is a large, custom-fit hard lens that vaults completely over the irregular cornea.
-
How They Work: The “bowl” of the lens is filled with a gentle saline solution before application. The smooth edges rest comfortably on the sclera (the white part of the eye), masking the cornea’s peaks and valleys.
-
Who Needs Them: Scleral lenses are life-changing for patients with keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, severe dry eye, or irregular corneas from prior eye surgeries.
-
Constant Comfort: Because the lens holds a reservoir of fluid, it constantly bathes the eye in moisture, offering immense relief for severe dry eye syndrome.
A Note on Regaining Independence: Our doctors have successfully fitted numerous patients with scleral lenses who were previously unable to pass the DMV vision test in glasses. By restoring their vision, we help patients drive safely and keep their independence.
Our team at Peak Eyecare specializes in hard-to-fit contact lens patients. The best part of our job is sharing the joy with our patients when we improve their vision beyond what they ever thought possible.

From Our Patients
“I have keratoconus which requires scleral lenses to improve vision. These are time consuming to fit and require multiple follow up appointments. About 7 years ago, at a different doctor, I got fitted for these and got defeated in the process by the cost so never got them again. I was reccomened to Peak Eyecare from my eye specialist and decided to give it another shot. I am utterly pleased with that decision.
Peak Eyecare geniuenely love what they do and are devoted to helping their patients. They accepted my insurance without question and their quality of care and dedication never faltered. With their help and care, not only has my quality of sight improved by also my quality of life. The world around me is so much more defined and I am not straining to see everything. I cannot recommend them enough.
Dr. Cap and his staff are incredibly kind, personable, and dedicated people. I am very, very thankful for them and their help. And I look forward to doing business with them for years to come.”
