At ForSight we believe in eye wear options so if you are at all interested in contact lenses, come see with us! We pride ourselves on fitting contact lenses for all types of eyes and prescriptions. Dr. Morrow specializes in hard to fit contact lenses that are used to improve the sight of those patients that have eye conditions including keratoconus, high astigmatism, post surgical corneas, and severe dry eye. Dr. Morrow began fitting specialty contact lenses in 2002 as ophthalmic technician, which sparked her passion and led her to pursue a doctorate in optometry. She considers herself an expert with all contact lens types.
Contact Lens Fittings & Designs
Soft Contact Lenses
Available in daily or monthly contact lens options. Toric contact lens designs to correct astigmatism. Multifocal designs to correct distance and near vision.
Gas Permeable Contacts
For high or difficult prescriptions such as high astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness, etc.
Scleral Contact Lenses
Large-diameter rigid gas permeable lenses that are designed to completely cover but vault over the cornea (the transparent dome in front of the eye) as well as extend onto the sclera (the white portion of the eye). Ideal for various ocular conditions that are not compatible with traditional types of contact lenses.
Hybrid Contact Lenses
A specialty lens design with a small gas permeable center and a soft contact lens surround to improve comfort for patients that have hard to fit prescriptions and eye diseases that prevent them from wearing a standard contact lens.
Transition Contact Lenses
This technology darkens when exposed to UV light. Great for those who frequently go from indoors to outdoors and do not want to carry a second pair of sunglasses.
Custom Contact Lenses
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses offer clarity and comfort for patients who have been previously told they were not good candidates for contacts or who have been unsuccessful with other types of contact lenses. Scleral lenses are custom fit to address the patient’s individual needs. Dr. Morrow brings established expertise and innovative technology to fit this highly precise lens which is allowing so many more patients to have SIGHT.
How We Can Help
Scleral lenses are large diameter rigid gas permeable contacts that are custom made for each eye. Scleral lenses may be used to improve vision and comfort for people suffering from a number of eye disorders or injuries to the eye, such as:
Dry Eye Syndrome
Graft vs. Host Disease
Keratoconus
Pellucid Degeneration
Corneal Ectasia
Disorders of the Iris
• Aniridia
• Coloboma
• Surgical Alteration
Corneas that have developed neurological changes due to Diabetes or Virus infections such as Herpes Simplex or Herpes Zoster.
Post Surgical Corneas
• INTACS
• Corneal Transplants
• Lasik
• Radial Keratonomy (RK)
Chronic Inflammatory conditions of the surface of the eyes
What the Scleral Lens Looks Like on the Eye
Scleral lenses are noticeably larger than standard gas permeable (GP) contacts and have a diameter equal to or greater than that of soft contact lenses. Scleral contacts range in size from approximately 14.5 mm in diameter to 24 mm. The diameter is customized for each patient based on their eye shape, corneal condition, and surgical history of the eye.
