Hard To Fit Contacts

Contact lenses are not a one-size-fits-all solution. At Optomertic Care, our doctors are trained to find the right contact lens that fits your optical needs.

Reasons for Hard to Fit Contacts

Wearing contact lenses can be challenging due to the following conditions:

  • Astigmatism: Characterized by an oval-shaped front of the eye, leading to blurred vision.

  • Dry Eyes: Symptoms include irritation, burning, redness, and blurred vision, exacerbated by contacts.

  • Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis (GPC): Inflammation on the inner eyelid surface, worsened by protein buildup on contacts.

  • Keratoconus: A rare condition causing discomfort with contacts. The cornea thins out, letting the eye bulge forward into a cone shape.

  • Presbyopia: As eyes age, focusing on close objects becomes a challenge, usually affecting those 40 and older.

  • Gas Permeable Lenses: Great for those with GPC or Keratoconus.

  • Toric Lenses: Customized for astigmatism correction.

  • Bifocal/Multifocal Lenses: For those navigating presbyopia.

  • Monovision Lenses: One lens for distance and another for close-up tasks.

  • Medicated Eye Drops: Offer relief for dry eyes and can also help with GPC symptoms.
