Our Large Selection of Lenses

We’ve examined thousands of eyes, and having seen for ourselves that no two pairs are alike means we’re keenly aware of the importance of finding the right contact lenses for you. That’s why we’re proud to offer a diverse selection of lens options for a variety of vision needs, including specialty contacts for those who have “hard-to-fit” eyes due to conditions like keratoconus or astigmatism. From dailies and monthlies for you to advanced myopia management technology to keep your child’s myopia (nearsightedness) under control, we’ve got the whole family covered.

Soft Lenses

Soft contact lenses are a great option for those seeking comfortable vision that can help correct myopia, hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. We have choices to suit your supply needs, including convenient daily disposables and monthlies that last.

RGP Lenses

Rigid gas-permeable lenses (RGP) allow oxygen to pass through the eye, with patients finding them more breathable than daily disposable soft lenses. These lenses require a bit more maintenance, but are a great, durable option for those with dry eyes and other conditions that affect the front of the eye. If you’re looking for lenses that last up to a month with diligent care, RGP lenses are a wonderful choice!

Scleral lens at University Vision Centre

Scleral Lenses

Scleral lenses are larger and have a special shape that arcs over the thin membrane on the front of your eye, known as the cornea, and instead hugging the white part of your eye, or sclera. Because of their structure, these lenses are great for those with dry eye, keratoconus, or corneal injuries and sensitivities that do not allow contacts to sit directly on the front of the eye.

Ortho-K Lenses

Ortho-K is an innovative contact lens technology designed to slow the progression of myopia in children. Worn overnight, they gently reshape the cornea to correct its length, resulting in better vision in the morning, and limiting the need for eyewear in some patients. The lifestyle flexibility afforded by Ortho-K is just one of the reasons we include these lenses in our myopia management programs for your little one!

Hybrid Lenses

If you regularly perform high intensity exercise or participate in sports, hybrid lenses are a wonderful option to correct your vision. Their unique construction combines an RGP center with a gel-like outer portion, providing high levels of visual clarity with all the comfortable benefits of soft lenses. Other patients who might be best served by hybrids are those with astigmatism, or those who find traditional RGP lenses uncomfortable or harder to wear.

Amniotic Membranes

Though not contact lenses in the traditional sense, amniotic membranes perform similar functions as specialty lenses for patients with cornea conditions or ocular injuries, but use a special design better suited to those who need advanced healing. Our practice is unique in that we carry amniotic membranes like the PROKERA^® corneal bandage. These innovative tools can reduce inflammation caused by ocular surface disease and other issues to rejuvenate your eyes without invasive procedures.

Making Sure Every Patient Gets Clear, Comfortable Vision

No matter what language you speak or the state of your eyes, our eye doctors and multi-lingual staff are here to support you as reliable experts passionate about ensuring your clear and comfortable sight. Fr om the moment you enter the exam room to when we’re following up about how your contacts fit, we’re working to ensure you have the best lenses for you. When you choose University Vision Centre for contact lenses, you’ll always have the options and support you deserve!
