At NY Optometry Contact Lens Services, PLLC, we specialize in advanced gas permeable contact lens solutions tailored to each patient’s unique vision needs. Our custom gas permeable lenses are precision-crafted using state-of-the-art corneal topography and aberrometry measurements to deliver exceptional visual acuity and comfort.
Gas permeable lenses excel at correcting complex refractive errors, irregular astigmatism, and corneal irregularities that soft lenses often cannot address effectively. Designed as rigid contact lenses made from durable, oxygen-permeable materials, they allow air to pass through to the cornea. Different from soft contact lenses, they maintain their shape on the eye while providing crisp, clear vision correction for a wide range of prescriptions and eye conditions.
Gas Permeable lenses offer exceptional optical clarity and visual acuity that, in many cases, can surpass soft contact lenses and glasses. They provide stable vision throughout the day without the fluctuations commonly associated with soft lenses— making them ideal for patients who demand the sharpest possible vision for work, sports, or daily activities. Gas permeable lenses also help promote healthy corneal metabolism and offer resistance to protein deposits to reduce infection risk, supporting better long-term eye health as compared to other contact lens options.
Patients with keratoconus, corneal scarring, or other corneal irregularities typically experience improved, corrected vision with gas permeable lenses. As the lenses create a smooth, regular optical surface over an irregular cornea, they can enhance visual clarity to an extent that may not be achievable with glasses or soft contact lenses.
They are also frequently the preferred solution following corneal surgeries, such as a corneal transplant or radial keratotomy, and to address complications from procedures like LASIK or PRK (photorefractive keratectomy), helping patients achieve their best possible post-surgical vision.
Dr. Kaplan uses the most advanced diagnostic and corneal mapping technology to obtain detailed measurements of the cornea's shape, size, and curvature. He works closely with every patient to provide a comfortable and precise fit while achieving optimal vision correction.
