Contact lens options
Custom soft contact lenses in Perth
Explore custom soft contact lenses and how they differ from standard soft lenses. Jayden Simpson assesses individual contact lens needs at Ezekiel Eyes in Nedlands, Perth.
Custom soft lenses are manufactured to specifications beyond standard soft lens ranges.
When this option may be discussed
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.
Beyond standard lens ranges
The reason for discussing a custom lens may be prescription, astigmatism or eye shape rather than a preference for a particular brand. Measurements and assessment guide whether a soft design outside standard ranges is worth considering.
Fitting an individually specified design
Vision, lens position, fit and comfort are checked. Where needed, the specifications can be refined following trial findings and your feedback. Handling, care and follow-up are still part of fitting a soft lens.
Custom, toric and soft can overlap
Custom describes how the lens is specified; toric describes correction for astigmatism. A lens can therefore be both custom and toric. Selected irregular corneas may also warrant comparison with rigid, hybrid or scleral designs.
Questions about custom soft contact lenses
How do custom soft lenses differ from standard soft lenses?
They are manufactured to specifications beyond standard soft lens ranges, which may be relevant to a high prescription, astigmatism or unusual eye shape.
Can a custom soft lens correct astigmatism?
Significant astigmatism is one reason a custom design may be considered. Prescription and lens stability are assessed individually.
Are custom soft lenses always the next step for an irregular cornea?
No. Selected irregular corneas may be considered, but assessment may also identify RGP, hybrid or scleral options to discuss.
