“Difficult to Fit” Eyes

Specialty Contacts Provide a Clearer Path to Better Vision

Most patients seen at the Raleigh Contact Lens Institute have what are called “difficult to fit” eyes—and this challenge is exactly why our practice was founded. Many patients are referred by optometrists and ophthalmologists who trust us with complex vision needs.

We specialize in helping those with unique eye conditions by taking the time to understand each case, exploring all possible solutions, and recommending the most effective specialty contact lens treatments.
Where else do you get 1–2 hours of one-on-one time with your doctor at the first exam? Along with extended visits and personal care, we use advanced equipment designed to map over 240,000 data points on the shape of the eye—ensuring a precise and comfortable fit.

Why Have I Been Told My Eyes Are “Difficult to Fit”?

Sometimes an underlying eye condition, such as keratoconus, can make it challenging to achieve clear vision. In other cases, patients are told they have “difficult to fit” eyes because multiple factors are present at once.

 

For example, a patient may have a small corneal scar on the periphery, moderate dry eye leading to irritation, and naturally steep corneas. When these conditions combine, achieving sharp vision with standard glasses or traditional contact lenses becomes very difficult—requiring specialized care and custom contact lens solutions.
