After an optometry visit, our optometrist at Bandera Eye Care, serving Bandera, TX, and the nearby region, may prescribe hard to fit contacts. If you are wondering how hard to fit contacts compare to regular contact, read on below for more information.
What Are Hard to Fit Contacts?
Hard to fit contacts are for people who have a prescription that isn’t a common one. These contacts are usually for a patient who has an eye condition that’s causing their vision deficit but are unable to wear regular contacts for some reason. A person who qualifies for these contacts might have already tried traditional contacts and they didn’t work out.
Examples of Hard to Fit Contacts
One example of hard to fit contacts is those for astigmatism. A person with astigmatism has their eye shaped poorly. As a result, light doesn’t shine on the retina. This causes blurry vision as well as other symptoms that make it difficult to see properly. An astigmatism patient may benefit from specialized contacts for astigmatism, such as toric lenses.
Keratoconus is another eye condition that warrants hard to fit contacts. A patient might also suffer from dry eye, preventing him or her from using standard contacts comfortably.
