When it comes to vision correction, contact lenses have become a preferred choice for many people who value both comfort and clarity. While standard soft lenses work well for a wide range of prescriptions, they may not offer the best fit or vision quality for every individual.
At San Marcos Vision Center, we specialize in personalized eye care solutions, including custom soft lenses designed to meet your unique visual needs. But what makes them different, and why might they be the better option for you?
Custom soft lenses are designed using detailed measurements of your eye’s shape and size. Unlike off-the-shelf lenses, these lenses conform precisely to your corneal contours. This results in a more secure and stable fit and can significantly reduce discomfort, irritation, and lens movement, especially for patients with irregular corneas, high astigmatism, or dry eyes.
Standard lenses come in pre-set shapes and powers, which may not fully address your individual refractive errors. Custom lenses can be made to correct complex prescriptions, including high myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. The enhanced precision provides sharper, clearer vision that’s less prone to halos, glare, or ghosting.
A properly fitting lens allows for better oxygen flow to the eye and reduces friction with the eyelid and cornea. This lowers the risk of complications like corneal abrasions or infections. Custom lenses also minimize the need for adjustments throughout the day, which can help you maintain healthier eyes long-term.
If you’ve been told in the past that you’re not a good candidate for contact lenses because of keratoconus, postsurgical corneal changes, or other irregularities, custom soft lenses may offer a solution. These lenses are crafted with advanced technology to provide clear vision even in challenging cases.
Custom lenses often offer improved moisture retention and material durability, allowing for longer wearing times without dryness or discomfort. Their superior fit also reduces the likelihood of the lenses shifting out of place, even during physical activities.
Custom soft contact lenses provide a personalized solution for individuals who need more than what standard lenses can offer. With a precise fit, enhanced visual clarity, and greater overall comfort, they are an excellent option for those with unique vision needs or who have struggled with traditional lenses in the past.
