When Standard Contacts Don't Cut It
Most contact lenses are designed for straightforward prescriptions — but not every eye fits that mold. If you have astigmatism, dry eyes, keratoconus, or a high prescription, standard lenses can cause discomfort, blurry vision, or simply won't stay in place. At Elite Eyecare Nashville, Dr. Lipe has experience fitting patients who have been told contacts "won't work" for their eyes.
Specialty Lens Options
What to Expect
Specialty lens fittings take more time and precision than a standard fitting. Dr. Lipe will evaluate the shape and health of your eyes, discuss your history with contacts, and recommend the best lens type for your specific needs. Follow-up visits are often part of the process to fine-tune the fit.
