Specialty Contact Lenses
Not every eye can achieve optimal vision and comfort with standard contact lenses. Specialty contact lenses are designed to provide customized solutions for patients with unique eye conditions, complex prescriptions, or specific visual needs.
At Inspire Vision Development Centre, we offer specialty contact lens fittings for patients in Orangeville, Brampton, Caledon, and surrounding communities. Using advanced technology and detailed measurements, we create customized lens solutions designed to maximize comfort, vision, and long-term eye health.

Whether you are looking for an alternative to glasses, struggling with traditional contact lenses, or managing a specific eye condition, our team can help find the right solution for your needs.

Specialty contact lenses may be recommended for patients with:
- High prescriptions

Specialty Contact Lenses at Inspire Vision Development Centre
At Inspire Vision Development Centre, we offer specialty contact lenses designed to provide clear, comfortable vision for patients with unique visual needs or eye conditions.
We offer a variety of specialty contact lens options, including:
- Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
- Scleral lenses
- Custom contact lens fittings for complex prescriptions
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)
What are Ortho-K Lenses?
Ortho-K (short for Orthokeratology) is a safe, non-surgical vision correction method that uses specially designed hard contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or contacts. The effect is temporary, so you need to wear the lenses every night. However, if you would like to temporarily switch back to glasses, you would discontinue wearing the contact lenses and restart them when it feels needed.
Ortho-K corrects Nearsightedness (Myopia), Mild Astigmatism, and Mild Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
How Ortho-K Works:
- Wear Ortho-K while sleeping
- The lenses gently reshape the cornea (front surface of the eye)
- Remove the lenses in the morning
- Your vision stays clear throughout the day
Ortho-K is especially popular for children and younger adults to slow myopia progression, as well as adults who do not want daytime lenses or surgery.
Benefits of Ortho-K:
- Benefits of Orthokeratology may include:
- No glasses/contacts during the day
- Reversible (stop wearing → cornea returns to normal)
- Non-surgical alternative to LASIK
- May help slow myopia progression in children
Ortho-K Fees
Ortho-K fees include a $750 fitting fee and $1,200 for the custom lenses in the first year.
If you are not satisfied with the lenses within the first 90 days, the lens portion of the treatment cost will be refunded.
In year two, the fitting fee is reduced by 50% for routine refitting. A full fitting fee applies if a complete refit is required due to significant prescription or eye changes.
Ortho-K Fittings
At Inspire Vision Development Centre, we use advanced corneal mapping technology to carefully evaluate your eyes and design custom lenses tailored to your unique prescription and visual needs.
Scleral Lenses
What are Scleral Lenses?
Scleral lenses are large specialty contact lenses designed to vault over the cornea and rest on the white part of the eye (sclera). Unlike regular contact lenses, scleral lenses create a smooth optical surface and hold a reservoir of fluid between the lens and the eye to improve comfort, protect the ocular surface, and provide clearer vision.
Scleral lenses are commonly used for patients with irregular corneas, severe dry eyes, or those who have difficulty wearing traditional contact lenses. They also can benefit a wide range of patients by improving vision, enhancing comfort, and protecting the surface of the eye
Scleral lenses help:
- Improve visual clarity
- Increase comfort compared to traditional lenses
- Continuous hydration of the eye surface
- Stable vision throughout the day
- Helpful for patients unable to wear standard contact lenses
- Customized fit for each patient’s eyes
How Do Scleral Lenses Work?
- The lens vaults over the cornea without touching it
- A layer of sterile saline remains beneath the lens
- The fluid reservoir keeps the eye hydrated throughout the day
- The smooth lens surface improves visual clarity and stability
What to Expect With Scleral Lenses
A scleral lens fitting involves detailed measurements and imaging of the eyes to customize the lenses for proper fit and comfort.
Scleral lenses require ongoing monitoring and regular follow-up care to ensure the eyes remain healthy and the lenses continue to fit properly. With that being said, patients are trained on how to apply the lens to their eye by filling the bowl of the lens with a preservative-free saline solution before placing it on the eye.
Scleral Lens Fees
Scleral lenses fees include a $600 fitting fee and $1,300 for the custom lenses.
Schedule a Specialty Contact Lens Consultation
If traditional contact lenses are uncomfortable or no longer provide the vision you need, specialty contact lenses may be an excellent solution.
