Contact Lenses for the "Hard-to-Fit" Patient
Challenges such as very high astigmatism, keratoconus, severe dry eyes, post-lasik vision problems, and corneal grafts needn’t be a barrier to contact lens wear, but they do require more time, education, patience and expense, depending on the issue. That doesn’t mean everyone can wear contacts. We are prescribing more scleral contacts for some of the more complex cases, to maximize quality of life. Occasionally contact lenses can be “medically necessary “ , for keratoconus, for example.
