CONTACT LENS SERVICES
I assess and fit a range of contact lenses, from everyday soft lenses to individually designed options for irregular corneas and complex prescriptions. If you have struggled with contact lenses or are unsure what might suit you, an assessment can help clarify the available options.
Appointments are arranged through Ezekiel Eyes in Nedlands. On the practice’s form, please include ‘Jayden Simpson’ when entering your preferred appointment date and time.
01 / Specialty Contact Lenses
For eyes that need an individual approach, lens selection considers corneal shape, ocular surface health, prescription and visual goals.
Scleral lenses are larger rigid lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the surface overlying the white part of the eye. A fluid reservoir beneath the lens helps compensate for corneal irregularity and supports the ocular surface.
They may be considered for keratoconus, other irregular corneas, and selected cases of severe dry eye or ocular surface disease. Each design is assessed and refined to suit the individual eye.
Rigid gas permeable, or RGP, lenses are small rigid lenses that sit on the cornea and create a smooth optical surface.
They may be considered for keratoconus, irregular astigmatism and prescriptions that are not adequately corrected with standard soft lenses. The fit, vision and wearing experience are assessed individually.
Soft skirt · Rigid centre
Hybrid lenses combine a rigid optical centre with a surrounding soft skirt.
They provide another option for selected irregular corneas, including some people who find conventional RGP lenses difficult to tolerate. Suitability depends on eye shape, vision and comfort during assessment.
Custom soft lenses are manufactured to specifications beyond standard soft lens ranges.
They may be considered for high prescriptions, significant astigmatism, unusual eye shapes and selected irregular corneas. An assessment helps determine whether a custom soft design or another lens type may be appropriate.
Occlusive lenses are designed to block or reduce vision in one eye and may be considered for selected cases of persistent double vision.
Prosthetic and other specialised designs may help manage light sensitivity or alter the appearance of an irregular iris or pupil. These lenses serve different purposes, so the design is selected following an assessment of the eye and the problem being addressed.
02 / Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, uses specially designed rigid lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and reduce the need for vision correction during the day.
It may be considered for selected adults and for children and adolescents as part of myopia management. Suitability assessment, careful lens hygiene and regular review are important parts of care.
03 / Soft Contact Lenses
Soft lenses offer options for different prescriptions, focusing needs and daily routines.
Soft contact lenses offer an alternative to spectacles for short-sightedness and long-sightedness.
Daily disposable and reusable options can be considered according to your prescription, eye health and routine. Fitting includes checking how the lenses sit on your eyes and how you see and feel while wearing them.
Toric soft lenses are designed to correct astigmatism. Their optical design and orientation on the eye help provide consistent vision.
Lens selection considers prescription, stability and comfort, including whether a standard or custom design is required.
Near · Intermediate · Distance
Illustrative optical zones. Lens designs vary.
Multifocal contact lenses combine different powers to support near, intermediate and distance vision.
They may help people with age-related near-focusing difficulties reduce their reliance on reading glasses. A trial and individual assessment help determine how well a design suits your visual needs.
Coloured contact lenses can change or enhance eye appearance, with or without prescription correction. They require an appropriate fit and advice on wear and care.
For concerns relating to an iris or pupil affected by injury or disease, explore the occlusive and prosthetic lens options above.
The process depends on your eyes and the type of lens being considered. Specialty fittings often involve several appointments.
We discuss your visual goals and assess your prescription, eye shape and ocular health.
An appropriate lens design is selected and, where needed, adjusted in response to its fit and your experience.
Where needed, you receive guidance on application, removal, cleaning and day-to-day lens use.
Follow-up appointments assess vision, comfort, fit and eye health, with further adjustments where appropriate.
No. You can enquire without choosing a lens type. An assessment considers your eyes, visual needs and previous lens experience before discussing suitable options.
Specialty contact lens fitting often involves several visits for assessment, fitting, lens handling guidance and review. The number of appointments varies with the complexity of the fitting and your response to the lenses.
