Specialty Contact Lenses
Gas Permeable and CRT
Our doctors evaluate, fit, and prescribe a large selection of soft disposable and rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses. Soft contact lenses include daily wear, two week, and monthly disposable contacts. One of the recent advances in lens material technology is the introduction of silicone-hydra gel lenses. these lenses offer more water contact and oxygen permeability than other disposable contacts. This allows extended wear time (in some cases lenses are FDA approved for overnight wear), with greater comfort. Customized RGP lenses offer the best vision for patients with complex prescriptions. RGP lenses are also often prescribed to correct vision for patients who have keratoconus, a condition where the cornea becomes especially steep corneas.

CRT is especially beneficial to children with rapidly increasing myopia and can slow down the progression and limit the severity of myopia over time. CRT is limited to a rage of prescriptions;
