There Are More Ways to See Clearly

We’re dedicated to providing a variety of options to support and correct your sight. If you’re looking for more ways to achieve clearer vision other than traditional eyeglasses, we’d be happy to see if contact lenses are right for you.

Modern contacts can help do more than just correct blurry vision. Our doctors fit soft and hard (RGP) contact lenses for every refractive condition, including myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, and presbyopia. We use up-to-date contact lens technology and products to free you from wearing glasses.

Additionally, our doctors are experienced in fitting specialty contact lenses for eye conditions such as keratoconus, corneal transplants, post-surgical corneal ectasia, ocular surface disease (dry eye), and other corneal diseases that standard contact lenses cannot correct. We work closely with cornea surgeons across the community to provide refractive solutions for challenging conditions both before and after cornea surgery.

Whether you’re new to contacts or interested in exploring the different options we offer, our team is here to guide you every step of the way. Get started today by requesting an appointment.

Are Contacts Right for You?

Contact lenses are a popular choice for vision correction, but their suitability depends on several factors. These include existing eye conditions, allergies, exposure to dusty environments, and your lifestyle.

Our experienced optometrists will work with you to determine the most appropriate vision correction solution that aligns with your lifestyle and eye health.

Scleral Contacts for Keratoconus & Dry Eye

Scleral contact lenses are large, rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses that can provide a solution for corneal conditions such as keratoconus, corneal transplants, corneal estasia, and ocular surface disease (dry eye).

They are larger than corneal RGP lenses, sitting on the sclera (the white of the eye) and “vaulting” over the cornea without touching it. This allows scleral lenses to provide improved comfort, stability, and vision compared to traditional contact lenses, particularly for patients with corneal irregularities.

For those with extreme dry eye and ocular surface disease, scleral lenses provide a protective fluid barrier between the cornea and the environment, allowing for functional vision and comfortable eyes where other techniques have failed.

Orthokeratology for Overnight Vision Correction

Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, contact lenses provide a solution for nearsighted adults seeking a reversible alternative to refractive surgery, as well as an option for children needing myopia management.

For children, Ortho-K has been proven to slow the rate of myopia progression by about half, compared to traditional single vision glasses or contact lenses.

For both adults and children, these lenses are worn overnight. They gently reshape the cornea to correct vision, allowing for clear vision without glasses or contact lenses during the day. Ortho-K can be a great answer for those who play water sports, practice martial arts, or suffer from dry eyes.

Other Specialty Contacts

With the help of modern lens-fitting technologies and techniques, we can help fit a range of other specialty contacts.

The type of contacts we recommend will depend on your unique needs. At Maui Optix, we can fit a range of lenses, including those that can address refractive errors and cornea-specific conditions.

Multifocal Contacts

Multifocal contacts can correct both near and distance vision. These lenses provide clear vision at all distances, giving you the freedom to enjoy life without switching between different eyewear.

Reverse Geometry Lenses

Reverse geometry lenses are a specialty contact lens option that can provide improved visual comfort for those with certain corneal conditions. They work by reversing the typical lens shape to better fit the eye, enhancing comfort and visual clarity.

Reverse geometry RGP lenses can be a great solution for those who have had complicated LASIK, PRK, or RK surgery and have failed with other types of lenses.

Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid contact lenses are designed with a rigid gas-permeable (RGP) center that is attached to a soft contact lens skirt. These lenses offer the great optics that RGP lenses provide, with the comfort of soft contact lenses.

Hybrid lenses can correct standard refractive conditions as well as conditions such as keratoconus.

Contact Lens Fitting Technologies

Maui Optix is committed to using modern technology to provide you with comfortable-fitting contact lenses.

Corneal Topographer

A corneal topographer is a specialized diagnostic tool used to measure the curvature and shape of the cornea.

This map can help provide a better understanding of the eye and is often used to help diagnose refractive errors or cornea-specific conditions, as well as fit contact lenses.

Keratography

A keratometer is a specialized tool that helps provide an accurate measurement of the curvature of the cornea.

It uses a combination of optics and computer software to create a 3D map of the cornea’s surface, which can then be used to diagnose refractive errors or specific corneal conditions.

Proper Contact Lens Care & Storage

It’s essential to take proper care of your contact lenses.

When we prescribe your contacts, we’ll walk you through a detailed process on how to correctly care for and store your contact lenses.

Don’t worry, though. Taking care of your contacts is a simple process, and doing it correctly can help extend the lifespan of multi-day lenses while reducing the risk of developing complications from wearing contacts.

Using & Cleaning Your Lenses

Always wash your hands thoroughly before handling your lenses.
Use the recommended solution to rub and rinse your lenses.
Avoid using water or saliva for cleaning.
Adhere to the replacement schedule advised by your optometrist for optimal lens health.

Storing Your Contacts

Always use a clean lens case and replace it at least every 3 months.
Fill the case with fresh contact solution daily.
Ensure your lenses are fully submerged in solution during storage.
Store the case in a clean, dry place at room temperature.

Our Pursuit of Contact Lens Excellence

At Maui Optix, we take pride in being at the forefront of contact lens technology. We have been selected by some of the leading contact lens companies to participate as clinical test/study sites for their upcoming products.

Through our involvement in these studies, we have gained extensive knowledge and experience in developing contact lens technology. Our team has been actively engaged in testing new lenses before they are launched to stay up-to-date with innovative advancements in the field.

Since 2006, we have participated in numerous studies, cementing our position as trusted authorities in contact lens care.
