Types of contact lenses we offer
At Dr. Neil Rubin Optometry, we offer a wide variety of contact lenses in Wantagh, New York, to meet your unique vision needs:
Orthokeratology (ortho-k)
Orthokeratology, or ortho-k, lenses are special overnight contact lenses that gently reshape your cornea while you sleep, offering clear, glasses-free vision the next day. Ortho-k is a non-surgical option for both children and adults who want to see clearly all day without wearing glasses or daytime contact lenses. It is also a proven solution for myopia management in children, as it can help slow the progression of nearsightedness.
Rigid gas permeable contact lenses
Rigid gas permeable (RGB) lenses are made of a durable type of plastic that allows oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea. Unlike soft contact lenses, RGB lenses hold their shape even when you blink, providing sharper and clearer vision. RGB lenses are ideal for people with moderate to severe astigmatism, keratoconus, corneal scarring, or any other condition that affects the shape of the cornea.
Multifocal contact lenses
Multifocal contact lenses provide clear vision at all distances, eliminating the need for reading glasses or multiple pairs of glasses. The bottom portion of the lens is optimized for close-up tasks, while the top part is for distance vision. Multifocal lenses are ideal for anyone who needs multiple prescriptions, especially people with presbyopia, a condition that affects close-up vision as we age.
Scleral contact lenses
Scleral contact lenses are larger than traditional lenses and sit on the sclera, the white part of the eye, rather than the cornea. This unique fit makes them much more comfortable than regular contact lenses. They also provide sharper vision, particularly for individuals with irregular corneas or specific eye conditions. Additionally, scleral lenses can offer relief from chronic dry eyes and severe allergic conjunctivitis.
Hybrid contact lenses
Hybrid contact lenses offer the best of both rigid gas permeable and soft contact lenses. These innovative lenses feature a rigid, gas-permeable center for sharp vision, surrounded by a soft outer skirt for enhanced comfort. Hybrid lenses provide excellent vision correction and enhanced comfort for individuals with keratoconus or other corneal irregularities.
Monovision contact lenses
Monovision is a contact lens solution where one eye is corrected for distance vision and the other for near vision. This option is ideal for individuals with presbyopia who want to avoid wearing reading glasses or having to carry around multiple pairs of glasses. Dr. Rubin will help you determine if monovision contact lenses are the right fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.
Toric contact lenses
Toric contact lenses are designed to fit securely on the eye and correct astigmatism. Unlike a normal cornea, which is shaped like a basketball, astigmatic eyes have a more football-shaped cornea. This irregular shape makes it hard for light to focus properly on the retina, causing blurry or distorted vision. Toric lenses have a unique shape that compensates for this uneven curvature, providing clearer, sharper vision.
