Selection of hard, soft and hybrid contact lenses

For different types of visual defect and pathology of the optic components of the eye, we can offer a variety of optical solutions: glasses, soft lenses, stable-shaped lenses or custom lenses.

Stable-shaped lenses are usually made of a rigid, ultra-high gas permeable material with parameters depending on the design and needs of the patient.

Soft lenses – hydrogel lenses or silicone hydrogel lenses.

We apply contact lenses as early as several months old, especially after cataract surgery. Patients with high visual impairment, astigmatism, irregular cornea or corneal cone will also find help from our specialists.

We care about every patient’s comfort. In our centre, contact lenses are handled by a team of eye care specialists comprising an ophthalmologist – contactologist, an optometrist – contactologist, and an optician.

In addition, at SPEKTRUM, we carry out orders for contact lenses reimbursed by the National Health Fund.

What types of lenses are there?

Monofocal lenses – for the correction of near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism, and can be used for single day wear or extended day wear.

Multifocal lenses – dedicated to people with presbyopia, these lenses can replace progressive spectacles and can be used for day wear or extended day wear.

Stable-shaped (hard) lenses – for the correction of any visual defect, for corneal conus, in high levels of anisometropia and in patients with congenital cataract. These lenses are used on an annual basis or for several years of daily wear. A special type of hard lens are scleral lenses, dedicated to patients after corneal transplants, refractive surgery, and with corneal deformations after injuries or infections.

Soft lenses – the most popular way to correct almost any visual defect in either daily or extended day wear.

Hybrid lenses – are constructed with a rigid centre made of gas permeable material and a soft peripheral part made of silicone hydrogel for high wearing comfort. They are used in the correction of high vision defects and in corneal irregularities (cone).
