What Are Hard-to-Fit Contact Lenses?
Some eyes need more than standard contact lens options to achieve clear, comfortable vision. Hard-to-fit contact lenses are specially designed for patients with unique eye conditions such as keratoconus, high astigmatism, severe dry eye, or post-surgical corneal changes. These lenses can also benefit those with very high prescriptions or irregularly shaped corneas.
At Vision Gallery, we provide thorough evaluations to understand your vision challenges and determine the best specialty contact lenses for your needs. Using advanced imaging and fitting technology, we ensure your lenses fit perfectly — improving comfort, vision quality, and eye health.
Why Some Patients Struggle with Standard Contact Lenses
While many people can wear traditional soft lenses without issues, certain conditions make standard lenses uncomfortable or ineffective, including:
- Keratoconus and irregular corneas
- High levels of astigmatism
- Presbyopia with other refractive errors
- Severe dry eye syndrome
- Post-LASIK or corneal transplant changes
- High myopia or hyperopia
Types of Specialty Lenses We Offer
At Vision Gallery, we provide a wide selection of specialty contact lenses designed for hard-to-fit eyes:
- Scleral Lenses
Large-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera, providing exceptional comfort for irregular corneas and severe dry eye.
- Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses
Rigid lenses that offer crisp vision for high prescriptions and astigmatism, often smaller than the cornea for better oxygen flow.
- Hybrid Lenses
Combine a rigid center with a soft skirt for both clear vision and improved comfort.
- Custom Soft Lenses
Specially made custom contact lenses for unique eye shapes, high prescriptions, or unusual curvature needs.
- Multifocal & Toric Designs
Address both presbyopia and astigmatism in patients requiring complex prescriptions.

What Our Client Say
About Vision Gallery
Posted on Rachel MillerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I suffered so much from dry eye in the mornings that I felt like I woke up in the Sahara. I tried drops that would only work for a little while and was super inconvenient. Dr Ma recommended the OptiLight and OptiLift system for the problem. I have been doing these treatments for at least two months. My results have been amazing so far. My eyelids have lifted my face looks refreshed and I have very little to no symptoms of dry eye! These procedure has very few rules after and the results are life changing to me. It’s worth all the time and money.Posted on Andi CountsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vision Gallery is fantastic! Everyone is very helpful and the dry eye treatments have been very beneficial for my dry eyes.Posted on Kerri GrahamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient here for a long time. I have very severe issues with dry eye and undergone treatment. Dr. Mahmoodpour (Dr. Mah) and her team have been amazing. The office is clean, efficient, and the medical care is the best I’ve ever seen in the industry. Their small like environment, the vast majority of insurance they accept, and the attention to customer service and quality experience is wonderful. I cannot recommend them enough!Posted on Lea TomlinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Ma is the best optometrist that I have ever seen and I have seen many. She is compassionate and caring always thorough. She goes above and beyond and has showed our family that she is on top of anything she sees that is out of the ordinary during an exam. Her office staff is very kind and helpful as well. Don’t waste your time looking for an optometrist. Take it from me; go see Dr Ma ,she is the best!!Posted on Isabella MolesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The level of care and communication is great. Went in for dry eyes and pain and the doctor took every step to determine the problem.Posted on Afton RichmondTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christine is wonderful!! Business as a whole very professional and you can tell they value your time.Posted on Zach CortezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Christine was so helpful customer service was 10 out of 10!Posted on Abigail BandaliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been coming to Dr Ma about 2 years now. She is the sweetest, most thorough eye dr I have ever been to. She takes the time needed to explain and make sure I understand everything pertaining to my plan of treatment. All of the other eye doctors I had been to gave me the test, gave me my prescription, sold me the glasses and I was out the door. After coming to Dr. Ma. I realized I had never actually had a proper eye exam. My eyes were feeling tired and strained. She did my exam and I indeed needed a new script. I was also tested for dry eye which she showed me on the screen and explained in great detail what was going on with my eyes and what the plan of treatment was going to be. After being treated for dry eye ( no, it’s not just feeling like you eyes need drops). There is a treatment therapy for this. I literally felt like I had a new pair of eyes. I can’t believe I had never been tested for that. I’ve been wearing glasses over 10 years. The staff is Exceptional. They are patient, kind, always accommodating and knowledgeable. I’m so happy I have found Dr. Ma and her staff. I will never go to another eye doctor! I walked out of there, feeling so confident that all my issues had been addressed. My eyes felt better. I love the glasses that I got and they were very patient in helping me make sure I had the right fit and everything was as it should be. If there’s anything I need or I have a question they are always available, ready to answer and assist. They definitely care about their patients and always go above and beyond to help anyway they can. I am definitely impressed and will not go anywhere else!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
