Specialty Contact Lens Exam in Pittsburgh

Your contact lenses should be comfortable and give you clear vision all day long. However, if you’ve ever felt discomfort with soft contact lenses or been told you can’t wear them, you might think glasses are your only option. But that’s not necessarily true.

Today, there are many specialty contact lens options available for “hard-to-fit” eye conditions. At Pittsburgh Primary Eyecare, we offer specialty contact lens exams in Pittsburgh to help you find the best contact lens fit.

Specialty contact lenses are designed for patients with unique eye conditions that make regular contact lenses uncomfortable or ineffective. If you have dry eyes, keratoconus, or irregularly shaped corneas, or have recently had corneal transplant surgery, specialty contact lenses may be the answer. 

What to expect during your specialty contact lens exam 

During your exam, our specialty contact lens specialist, Dr. Bressler, will thoroughly evaluate your eyes to determine the best type of specialty lenses for your needs. He takes the time to understand your vision requirements and lifestyle to recommend the most suitable lenses.

The exam includes several tests and measurements to assess the unique shape and size of your cornea. Using advanced technology like corneal mapping, we create a detailed map of your cornea’s surface to ensure your lenses fit perfectly without causing irritation or damage to your eyes.
