Our Specialty Contact Lenses are designed to provide a perfect fit for complex vision needs, ensuring superior clarity, comfort, and eye health for those who need more than standard lenses.
Hybrid contact lenses help patients in a couple ways:
Comfort and vision: The lenses have the same kind of vision as of a standard GP (gas permeable lens) and the comfort of a soft contact lens.
Gas Permeable (GP) center delivers great vision and the soft skirt gives the contacts a soft cushion which enhances the comfort. It also has Tangible Hydra-peg coating which provides increased lubricity. Regular GP lenses – Can slow down or stop the beat of Nystagmus.
