Types Of Contact lenses

At **Focus Eye Clinic, Thane (Dr. Mohini Modak)**, contact lenses are usually prescribed based on your eye condition, lifestyle, and refractive error. Like most ophthalmology clinics, the lens options generally fall into standard medical categories rather than brand-specific types.

Here are the **common types of contact lenses typically available / prescribed there**:

### 1. Soft Contact Lenses

* Most commonly prescribed
* Comfortable and easy to adapt to
* Used for:

* Myopia (short-sightedness)
* Hypermetropia (long-sightedness)

### 2. Toric Contact Lenses

* For **astigmatism**
* Designed to correct irregular corneal curvature

### 3. Multifocal / Bifocal Contact Lenses

* For **presbyopia** (age-related near vision difficulty)
* Helps see both near and distance without glasses

### 4. Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) Lenses

* Harder than soft lenses but give sharper vision in some cases
* Used for:

* High astigmatism
* Keratoconus
* Irregular cornea cases

### 5. Cosmetic / Colored Contact Lenses

* Mainly for appearance change or mild vision correction
* Sometimes suggested if medically suitable

### 6. Therapeutic Contact Lenses (special cases)
