Specialty lenses work in different ways to give you clearer vision. The office of Edwin Y. Endo, OD & Associates offer specialty lenses from SynergEyes®, including:
Soft lenses are made of soft, flexible plastic that fits the shape of your eye. They provide stable, clear vision and are a comfortable option for many people who need prescription lenses.
There are also soft lenses available to treat eye diseases like dry eyes.
Gas permeable lenses are made with more rigid but breathable materials to provide sharper, clearer vision for those with astigmatism. These lenses are more durable than soft lenses and cover only about 80% of your cornea.
Duette contact lenses provide clearer, sharper vision than traditional soft or gas permeable contacts. Duette lenses work well for those with astigmatism who find GP lenses uncomfortable.
Scleral lenses are larger in size than GP lenses but are made of the same material. This type of specialty lens gradually changes the shape of an irregular cornea to improve and preserve good vision.
