Soft Contact Lenses

This is by far the most common type of contact lenses. It is perfect for patients who have an active lifestyle and sports. Different types of lenses includes dailies, biweeklies, and monthly lenses. Whether you need single vision, have astigmatism needing to go into toric design lenses, or multi-focal lenses, we could help address your needs

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are large diameter rigid lenses that rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye when you look in the mirror) and vault over the cornea (the clear dome that sits on top of the iris, aka color part of the eye). These special custom designed lenses help address complicated cornea from patients who has any kind of ectasia conditions such as keratoconus, pellucid degeneration, and keratoglobus. Additionally, scleral lenses also helps correct vision from post surgical patients from corneal transplants, RK/PRK/ASA/Lasik procedures. If you have a complicated cornea, schedule an appointment and Dr. Le will help find a solution to help with your visual demand.

Synergeyes Hybrid Lenses

Remember when you had only two choices in contact lenses? "Hard" (rigid gas permeable) lenses were best for crisp, clear vision, but were often irritating and uncomfortable. Soft lenses were the most comfortable, but often provided less-than-optimal vision.

Now, a technological breakthrough makes having to choose a thing of the past. SynergEyes® hybrid contact lenses offer the best of both worlds. The soft skirt offers all day comfort while the "breathable" rigid center keeps eyes healthy while providing crisp, clear vision…even at night.

This hybrid lenses has the RGPs in the center with a SCL skirt around it. If you prefer the crisp optical quality of RGPs and the comfort of SCL, this is the option for you. This customized lens is the Top of the line, premium contact lens and offers the best of both world. This lens is available to correct spherical, astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus, pellucid marginal degenerations, status post corneal transplant or refractive surgeries such as radial keratotomy.

Synergeyes Specialty Lenses

If you have Keratoconus, a progressive eye condition in which the cornea thins and becomes cone-shaped and irregular, you need a custom designed contact lens to best correct the blurry and distorted vision from the irregularities of the corneal ectasias. ClearKone lenses provide excellent centration and stability by keeping the optics centered over the visual axis, decreasing aberrations and enhancing optical performance.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

The main differences between RGPs and SCLs are the comfort and quality of vision. RGPs are very uncomfortable initially. However, once you are adapted to it, the discomfort becomes minimal. The other difference is the superior optical clarity of RGPs. In addition, RGPs are a great alternative for patients who have high prescription either in spherical or astigmatism component. These custom made lenses allows wider ranges of prescription.

Because of its design, RGPs are the most breathable lenses available. Your cornea needs to have adequate amount of oxygen going through to provide adequate vision and health. This is why these lenses are perfect for patients who have had previous corneal complications from SCL overwear.

Not only do RGPs correct spherical, astigmatism, and presbyopia. Specialty RGPs also help treat certain corneal eye diseases such as keratoconus and pellucid marginal degeneration.
