A CLOSER LOOK AT COMPLEX VISION
Scleral & specialty contact lenses in Forest Hills
A specialty contact lens consultation is an option when standard contacts or glasses are not meeting your visual needs. We evaluate scleral and gas-permeable lens options for individual prescriptions and corneal conditions.
Request online with Weave. Your visit is scheduled once confirmed.
INFORMED, PERSONAL CARE
Careful measurements. An individual fit.
Scleral lenses may be considered for certain corneal conditions, including keratoconus, scarring, or irregularities. The practice also evaluates lens options for some patients after LASIK or radial keratotomy.
A different approach to a complex fit
Some corneal shapes and conditions make conventional lens fitting more difficult. A specialty evaluation considers your eye health, measurements, prior treatment, and visual goals before a lens design is recommended.
When a consultation may help
Patients with keratoconus, corneal scarring or irregularity, or certain changes after refractive surgery may be candidates for a specialty lens evaluation. Your diagnosis alone does not determine the right lens; the fit and eye health findings matter.
Prepare for the fitting conversation
Bring previous prescriptions, corneal testing, surgery details, and the lenses you currently wear. Ask about the fitting process, follow-up, handling, replacement costs, and coverage for your exact plan and diagnosis.
Before your visit
Bring your current prescription and relevant eye records. Your doctor will explain the fitting process, potential benefits, limitations, and lens-care responsibilities.

Yes, if available. Previous prescriptions, corneal testing, and surgery details can help inform your consultation.
It may involve different measurements, lens designs, and follow-up. Ask our team how your consultation and fitting will be arranged and which costs are included.
