Specialty Contact Lenses for Keratoconus
Keratoconus can make it difficult to see clearly with standard glasses or contact lenses. At Carson City Optics, we offer contact lens solutions designed to improve clarity and comfort, and we’ll work with you to find an option that fits your needs.
What Is Keratoconus?
Keratoconus is an eye condition where the cornea—the clear front surface of the eye—gradually changes shape. Instead of maintaining a smooth, even curve, the cornea becomes more irregular, which affects how light enters the eye and can lead to blurred or distorted vision.
From medical treatments to your annual eye exam, we provide a wide range of services at Carson City Optics.
Conveniently located, we offer flexible hours to fit your busy schedule, so your care works around your life.

How Keratoconus Affects Your Vision
Because of these changes, everyday vision can become more challenging. Some patients may notice:
- Blurred or distorted vision
- Increased sensitivity to light
- Difficulty seeing clearly with standard glasses or contact lenses
These changes can develop over time, which is why ongoing care and the right type of lenses are important.
Contact Lens Options for Keratoconus
Standard contact lenses may not provide the clarity or comfort needed for Keratoconus. In many cases, specialty lenses are used to create a smoother surface over the eye, helping improve how light is focused.
Scleral lenses are one of the most common options for patients with keratoconus. You can learn more about how these lenses work on our Scleral Contact Lens Fittings page.
