Bring Clarity & Comfort to Your Life
At Sphinx Eye Care, our caring approach helps us identify everything your eyes need, and specialty contact lenses are just one of the many ways we can help support your sight.
If you’re interested in how contact lenses can serve you, consider booking a contact lens exam and fitting with us. Examining your eyes can help detect certain issues that our specialty lenses may be able to address.

Why Choose Specialty Contacts?
While traditional contacts help correct common refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness, they may not always be the best option.
Specialty contacts are our way of correcting visual errors while also addressing other conditions that make your eyes hard-to-fit. These conditions can include dry eyes, presbyopia, or corneal issues.
In some cases, specialty contact lenses can help provide clear, comfortable vision while you recover from procedures like LASIK eye surgery.
Types of Specialty Contact Lenses
The type of contact lens we recommend ultimately depends on what issues your eyes may have.
Before we can recommend a specialty lens, we’ll have to perform a comprehensive eye exam and contact lens fitting. With a corneal topographer and keratometer, we’ll take a look at your corneal health and the size and shape of your iris and pupil.
We’ll also examine your tear film to determine if your contact lenses may need to address dry eye symptoms. With all this information in hand, we can determine which type of contact lens may be right for you.
Scleral Lenses
Scleral lenses are becoming a popular contact lens choice for people with dry eye or corneal conditions.
These lenses have a larger diameter than traditional contact lenses, helping them rest on the sclera (whites) of your eyes. The size allows the center of the lens to “vault” over your cornea, making the lens comfortable to wear if you have a corneal condition like keratoconus.
A tear reservoir also forms between the lens and the cornea, which could help address uncomfortable issues like dry eye.
Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal contact lenses have more than one prescription built into them to help correct vision errors at multiple distances.
We may prescribe a multifocal contact lens if you have presbyopia, a condition that makes it difficult for your eyes to focus at various distances. However, multifocals can also correct astigmatism or even help manage myopia development in children.
Rigid Gas-Permeable (RGP) Lenses
Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) contact lenses are popular for their ease of use, crisp vision, and durability.
These specialty lenses are made of materials that allow oxygen to pass through and reach your eyes, which could help them address issues like dry eye.
MiSight 1 day Lenses
MiSight 1 day lenses are FDA-approved multifocal contact lenses made to slow myopia progression. These soft lenses can correct blurry distance vision and have been clinically proven to help slow myopia progression by 59%.
Age-appropriate children wearing MiSight 1 day contact lenses typically progress less than 1 diopter on average for over 6 years.
MiSight lenses are single-use and considered easy to use, so even kids as young as 8 can take care of them and wear them with confidence.

Testimonials
“My experience Dr. El Hag was fantastic! She was thorough in my exam and helping me manage my dry eyes. She explained everything so patiently. She and her staff were so responsive when ordering contacts and glasses and were able to help me get the best use from my insurance and a great deal! I refer all my family and friends to her”
Kareem H. – Dry Eye Related
“Great doctor and staff. They are very patient and helpful. They did an awesome job teaching my teenager how to use his contacts.”
Nese S. – Contacts/Glasses
“My experience at Sphinx Eye Care was excellent! Dr. El-hag is no doubt the best optometrist I’ve had! I’ve been wearing glasses all my life and I have always had trouble finding a good optometrist that would fully listen to my concerns. Dr. El-Hag, Kareem, and the entire staff provided excellent service, listened and addressed all of my questions and concerns. After my appointment, I left feeling heard and with my favorite pair of glasses that I’ve ever owned. The service and experience at sphinx eye care is unmatched. The only place for all your eye care needs. 10/10 recommend!”
Salma E.
“From the moment I walked in I was treated professionally and with great respect. The office staff are very polite and friendly. I felt like I was a long time patient and it was my first visit.
Dr El-Hag was great I had already been to an eye doctor prior to the visit with her and she was able to find where the other doctor had made mistakes with my prescription. Again Dr El-Hag and her staff made me feel like family.”
John K.
“The best eye doctor in town. Dr. El-Hag is extremely professional and very knowledgeable. She treated my chronically dry eyes and made sure to find the right lenses for me. The office staff is incredibly welcoming and professional as well. Everyone makes sure you get the best service possible from getting you ready to see the doctor to saying goodbye to you when it’s all done. I highly recommend Sphinx!”
