Hard to Fit Contacts vs Regular Contacts

Contacts can help you see the world around you clearly. They may help you maintain your ability to drive and could also ease eye strain when you're doing computer work. There are different types, however. This includes regular contacts and hard to fit contacts. Let us at Albuquerque Vision Care and Advanced Eyewear, serving Albuquerque, NM, and the nearby region, provide the eye care you are looking for.

Hard-to-Fit Contacts

Hard to fit contacts are used when you have an abnormal vision situation that regular contact lenses are not suited for. One example is astigmatism. If you have astigmatism and you want to wear contacts, regular contact lenses might not be able to work for your situation. This is where we may turn to a type of hard to fit contacts. These contact lenses have a shape unlike regular contacts so that they can correct astigmatism and help you see clearly.

You may need another type of hard to fit contacts if you have dry eyes. Contact lenses can cause or exacerbate dry eye symptoms so using a special type of contacts can become important. An eye doctor on our team can help diagnose your condition and tell you what kind of contacts that you need.

Determining Your Need

Our optometrists can determine the type of contacts you need through an eye exam. One portion consists of checking for different eye diseases and conditions that may be lurking in the background. The other part is a contact lens fitting. The measurements we take help us determine which contacts are right for you as well as what size you need to fit comfortably.
