Your primary concerns are comfort and vision quality, and thankfully there are many options when it comes to the right contacts for your needs.

What Is Keratoconus?

Keratoconus is a bulging outward of the eyes. Rather than having round or spherical eyes, keratoconus causes the eyes to become conical in shape. This can have a severe impact on your vision. For advanced keratoconus, minimally invasive surgery or a corneal transplant may be recommended. However, the use of special contacts can improve the shape of the cornea and enhance vision in the process.

About Hybrid Contact Lenses

Hybrid contact lenses are a new step forward in treating keratoconus and other kinds of vision issues. In the middle of this large-diameter hybrid contact lens is a hard, gas permeable center. Surrounding this central portion of the contact is a soft portion that allows the contact to sit comfortably on the eye.

There are many different kinds of hybrid contacts out there, each using this basic structure but offering their own unique advantages.
