Specialty Contact Lens Expert
If you’ve struggled with contact lenses in the past or were told you couldn’t wear them, we’re here to help. Some people have unique eye shapes or conditions that make it difficult to find comfortable and effective contact lenses. At Pittsburgh Primary Eyecare, our specialty contact lens specialist, Dr. Bressler, is dedicated to finding the perfect fit for every patient, no matter how challenging their case may be. Whether you have astigmatism, presbyopia, dry eyes, keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, or another eye condition that makes traditional contacts a struggle, we have a solution for you.
We use corneal mapping technology to ensure the perfect fit for each patient. This advanced technology allows us to create a detailed map of your corneas, giving us valuable information about their shape and curvature. By understanding these factors, we can provide you with custom-fit contact lenses that offer optimal comfort and vision correction.
Order contact lenses online
We make it easy to get the contact lenses you need with convenient online ordering.
You can order contact lenses through the Acuvue site by searching for "Siegel Eye Care," which was our practice's former name.
Order through Marlo for all other contact lens manufacturers.
Orthokeratology
This innovative treatment involves wearing specially designed gas permeable contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea and correct vision. It’s a great option for those who want clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or daytime contact lenses. These specialized lenses are not only used for vision correction but also for myopia management. By slowing the progression of myopia in children, ortho-k lenses can help lower the risk of more serious eye issues later in life.
Rigid gas permeable contact lenses
These lenses are made from durable materials that allow oxygen to pass through to the eyes. They provide sharp vision for those with astigmatism or other irregular corneal shapes. While they may take some time to get used to compared to soft lenses, many patients find them comfortable once properly fitted by our experienced team.
Multifocal contact lenses
These lenses are designed to correct presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision), allowing our patients to see clearly at all distances without the need for reading glasses. Whether you’re struggling with nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism along with presbyopia, multifocal lenses can provide a convenient and effective solution.
Scleral contact lenses
Scleral contact lenses are larger than traditional lenses and rest on the sclera, the white part of the eye. Because they rest on the sclera instead of the cornea, they offer significantly more comfort than traditional contact lenses. Scleral lenses provide sharper vision, particularly for individuals with irregular corneas or other eye conditions. They can help improve vision for patients with conditions like keratoconus or post-surgical complications. They are also an effective treatment for dry eyes. By creating a fluid reservoir between the lens and the cornea, scleral lenses help keep your eyes moist and comfortable throughout the day.
Hybrid contact lenses
Hybrid contact lenses combine the best features of soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses, providing superior comfort and excellent vision. If you’ve had difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses due to dry eyes or discomfort, hybrid lenses may be a great alternative.
Monovision contact lenses
Monovision is a popular option for patients over 40 who have difficulty seeing up close due to presbyopia. With monovision, one eye is corrected for distance vision while the other eye is corrected for near vision using contact lenses. This allows patients to see clearly at all distances without needing bifocals or reading glasses.
Toric contact lenses
Toric contact lenses are specifically designed for patients with astigmatism, correcting both nearsightedness and farsightedness while addressing the irregular curvature of the cornea. Our team will work closely with you to ensure proper fitting and maximum comfort with toric lenses.
