Overview

At Mahale Eye Hospital, contact lenses are versatile tools for vision correction and therapeutic purposes. These thin, plastic discs rest directly on the eye’s surface, offering options for correcting vision, enhancing appearance, or addressing specific eye conditions. The hospital offers both soft lenses, crafted from a flexible, water-containing material, and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, made from a more rigid, oxygen-permeable material. While soft lenses are preferred for their comfort, RGP lenses are often recommended for individuals with conditions like astigmatism or keratoconus, owing to their superior optical qualities and durability. The expert team at Mahale Eye Hospital ensures personalized recommendations and precise fittings to optimize comfort and visual acuity for each patient’s unique needs.

Soft Contact Lenses

Soft contact lenses at Mahale Eye Hospital, made of hydrogel or silicone hydrogel, prioritize comfort and oxygen permeability, enhancing eye health. With options like daily disposable and bi-weekly or monthly disposable, as well as extended wear, patients benefit from versatile wearing schedules tailored to their individual preferences and requirements.

Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Contact Lenses

RGP lenses at Mahale Eye Hospital, made of durable plastic for oxygen permeability, offer precise vision correction, particularly for astigmatism and higher-order aberrations. While providing crisp vision and customizable prescriptions, they may entail an adjustment period due to their rigid nature.

Hybrid lenses

Hybrid lenses at Mahale Eye Hospital merge the advantages of soft and rigid gas permeable lenses, featuring a rigid center for clarity and a soft outer skirt for comfort. Primarily utilized for irregular corneas like in keratoconus, these lenses offer enhanced vision correction where standard options may fall short.

Toric lenses

OCT is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of the retina. It provides detailed images of the layers of the retina, optic nerve, and other structures, aiding in the diagnosis and management of conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

Multifocal and bifocal lenses

Multifocal and bifocal lenses are designed to correct presbyopia, an age-related condition where the eye’s ability to focus on near objects decreases. These lenses have different zones for distance and near vision correction, allowing wearers to see clearly at various distances without the need for reading glasses.

Scleral lenses

Scleral lenses are large, gas-permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera (the white part of the eye). They are used for conditions such as keratoconus, irregular corneas, or severe dry eye syndrome. Scleral lenses provide comfort by creating a fluid-filled reservoir between the lens and the cornea.

Ortho-K lenses

Ortho-K lenses are gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, providing clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenses. They are primarily used for myopia control or to correct mild to moderate myopia.
