Specialist Contact Lenses
The right lens for harder-to-fit eyes.
Some prescriptions, eye shapes and conditions need a more specialist approach — particularly where comfort, stability or clarity has been difficult to achieve before.
When standard lenses are not enough
Not every eye is suited to a standard lens.
At STOTTS., we fit specialist contact lenses for complex prescriptions, irregular corneas, keratoconus, post-surgical eyes and people who have struggled with standard lenses.
Designed around your eyes
When specialist lenses may be recommended.
Specialist contact lenses are carefully selected and fitted to your individual eye shape, prescription and visual needs. They may be recommended for:
- Complex or high prescriptions
- Keratoconus
- Irregular corneas
- Post-graft or post-surgical eyes
- Poor vision with standard soft lenses
- Discomfort with previous contact lenses
- Dryness or instability with standard lenses
Rigid and scleral lenses
Advanced lenses for complex eyes.
RGP (rigid gas permeable) lenses can provide sharp, stable vision for many complex prescriptions. Scleral lenses are larger specialist lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the white of the eye — often giving improved comfort and vision for more complex or irregular eyes.
Ongoing comfort and aftercare
A fitting is the start, not the end.
Specialist contact lens fitting is not just about choosing a lens. It requires careful assessment, precise fitting, patient teaching and regular aftercare.
We guide you through the process clearly, so you understand your options and what is right for your eyes — and so your lenses stay comfortable, safe and effective over time.
