Custom Gas Permeable Lenses

Custom GP lenses are made-to-order based on detailed measurements of the eye called topography. This customization allows for a precise fitting of the lens in addition to the ability to treat a range of refractive errors, including myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia.

These lenses are particularly beneficial for individuals with irregular corneas, such as those with keratoconus, post-surgical corneal irregularities, or corneal scarring. The lenses can be tailored to match the shape of the irregular cornea, providing clearer and more stable vision.

Patients with complex vision prescriptions that cannot be effectively managed with off-the-shelf lenses often benefit from custom GP lenses. This includes those with high astigmatism or unusual combinations of prescriptions.

Custom GP lenses are designed for a precise fit, which enhances comfort during wear. The fitting process involves taking detailed measurements of the eye’s surface called a topography, so the curvature, diameter, thickness, and edge profile of the contact can all be adjusted for the best fit and comfort.

Because of their tailored design, custom GP lenses can provide excellent visual acuity and image quality. They can reduce or eliminate issues like halos, glare, and distortion that some wearers experience with standard lenses.

Custom GP multifocal lenses can be designed to address presbyopia, allowing wearers to see clearly at various distances, from up close to far away without the need for reading glasses.

Custom GP lenses can be designed with specific parameters to optimize the interaction between the lens and the tear film. This can help reduce dryness and discomfort during lens wear allowing for tear exchange under the lens.

Custom GP lenses can be manufactured using gas permeable materials to allow oxygen through to the eye to ensure optimal eye health.
