Clear, comfortable vision is possible even if standard contact lenses have not worked well for you in the past. At Ocean Park Optometry in Santa Monica, CA, we offer specialty contact lenses designed for patients with unique prescriptions, irregular corneas, dry eye symptoms, astigmatism, keratoconus, and other complex vision needs. Our goal is to provide a precise, comfortable fit that supports sharper vision and easier day-to-day wear.

What Are Specialty Contact Lenses?

Specialty contact lenses are custom or advanced lenses designed for eyes that need more than a basic contact lens fitting. These lenses may be recommended for patients with irregular corneas, high prescriptions, astigmatism, keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, or dry eye symptoms. We evaluate your eye health, vision needs

Types of Specialty Contact Lenses We Offer

Ocean Park Optometry offers advanced contact lens solutions for a wide range of needs. Depending on your eyes, your options may include:

Scleral contact lenses for keratoconus, dry eye, and corneal irregularities
Toric lenses for astigmatism
Multifocal contacts for near and distance vision
Custom soft contact lenses for unique prescriptions
Orthokeratology, also known as Ortho-K, for overnight vision correction

Each fitting is designed around your specific eye shape and visual goals, helping improve comfort and clarity throughout the day.

Scleral Contact Lenses In Santa Monica

Scleral lenses are one of the most effective specialty contact lens options for patients who have struggled with regular contacts. These larger lenses vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye, creating a smooth optical surface and a fluid reservoir that can help with comfort. They may be especially helpful for patients who have keratoconus, corneal scarring, severe dry eye, or irregular vision after eye surgery.

A More Precise Contact Lens Fitting

A successful specialty contact lens fitting requires more than selecting a prescription. Our doctors use advanced evaluation techniques to assess the front surface of the eye, tear film quality, corneal shape, and overall eye health. This allows us to design or recommend lenses that fit properly and provide stable vision. We also take time to teach proper insertion, removal, cleaning, and lens care so you feel comfortable managing your contacts at home.

Who May Benefit From Specialty Contact Lenses?

You may be a candidate for specialty contact lenses in Santa Monica if you have been told you are “hard to fit,” experience dryness or discomfort with regular lenses, or cannot achieve your best vision with glasses alone. Specialty lenses can also benefit patients with active lifestyles who want dependable visual clarity without relying only on eyewear.
