Specialty Contact
Lenses at HineSight

Every eye is unique and some eyes have much more exotic needs. Our specialty contact lenses address specific visual challenges and eye conditions, providing tailored solutions that enhance vision and comfort such as Keratoconus, Corneal Grafts, and Orthokeratology for Myopia Control.

Located in the heart of Sydney, our practice is equipped to fit and prescribe a range of specialty lenses for even the most complex vision needs.

What Are Speciality
Contact Lenses?

Speciality contact lenses are a game-changer for individuals who find standard contact lenses unsuitable due to irregular corneal shapes, specific eye conditions, or complex prescriptions. These custom made lenses are crafted with state-of-the-art technology and materials, that offer crisper vision correction and comfort.

Types of Specialty
Lenses We Provide

At HineSight, we address a wide range of vision issues. Please click the arrows below to learn more about our specialty lenses.

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses

Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) lenses are ideal for patients with astigmatism or more complex conditions like keratoconus. They provide crisper vision for eyes with irregular corneal shapes.

Scleral Lenses for Keratoconus and Corneal Grafts

Scleral lenses are larger in diameter and rest on the sclera rather than the cornea, making them suitable for patients with corneal grafts and more advanced keratoconus. They create a tear-filled vault over the cornea, bypassing the irregularly shaped corneal surface, and provide excellent comfort and stable vision.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) Lenses

Ortho-k lenses are available for children, teenagers and adults who love the possibility of seeing clearly through the day without needing glasses or contact lenses. Ortho-K lenses are custom designed for you and they are worn overnight to gently reshape the corneal surface, helping to manage myopia. Molding effect is reversible over a few days when nightly lens wear is discontinued.

Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid lenses combine RGP lenses' clarity with soft lenses' comfort. They have a rigid centre that covers the cornea for clear vision and a soft peripheral skirt that helps keep the lenses in place and increases comfort. Hybrid lenses are primarily used as an alternative when standard RGP lenses do not provide sufficient comfort.

Toric Lenses for Astigmatism

Toric lenses are designed to correct astigmatism, where the eye does not focus light evenly due to an irregularly shaped cornea. This condition results in distorted or blurred vision, making it difficult for the eye to distinguish between certain shapes, such as 'o', 'e', and 'g'. Astigmatism is very common in the population and can be easily addressed.

Getting Fitted for
Specialty Contacts

Choosing the right specialty contact lenses involves detailed measurements and a thorough assessment of your eye health and vision needs. During a contact lens consultation, our skilled and experienced optometrist, Narelle Hine, will use the latest technologies to ensure precise fittings. This provides you with individualised lenses that not only correct your vision but also care for the health of your eyes.

If you've been told you're not a candidate for contact lenses, we can help you find a solution that works. Visit us or book an appointment online for a consultation and discover how specialty contact lenses can transform your vision.
