Which Lenses Are Right for You?
Soft, Gas Permeable, or Scleral
Types of Contact Lenses
Soft Lenses
- Made of flexible, breathable material that conforms to the shape of your eye
- Commonly used for myopia, hyperopia, mild astigmatism, or presbyopia
- Available as daily disposables or longer-wear formats
Gas Permeable Lenses
- Rigid lenses that provide sharp vision, especially for higher astigmatism or keratoconus
- Require an adjustment period, but are durable and highly effective
Scleral Lenses
