At Dr. Timothy P. Kenkel and Associates, we understand how important clear and comfortable vision is to your daily life. For those who struggle with finding the perfect contact lenses due to conditions like astigmatism, keratoconus, or simply dissatisfaction with standard lenses, hybrid lenses may be the solution you've been searching for.
 

What Are Hybrid Lenses?

Hybrid lenses are a unique type of contact lens that combines the best of two worlds: the crisp, clear vision of rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lenses and the comfort of soft lenses. They feature a rigid center that provides exceptional visual clarity, surrounded by a soft skirt that enhances comfort and ease of wear. This innovative design addresses common challenges faced by wearers of traditional lenses, offering a more versatile and effective solution.
 

Who Can Benefit from Hybrid Lenses?

Hybrid lenses are a great option for:
 

• Patients with Astigmatism: Their rigid center helps correct irregularities in the cornea, providing sharper vision than standard soft lenses.

• Keratoconus Patients: Hybrid lenses can offer better stability and visual acuity for individuals with irregularly shaped corneas.

• Those Seeking Comfort and Clarity: If you’ve struggled with discomfort from RGP lenses or blurry vision from soft lenses, hybrid lenses offer the perfect balance.

• Active Lifestyles: The soft skirt ensures the lenses stay comfortably in place during activities, making them an excellent choice for those with busy, active lives.
   

Advantages of Hybrid Lenses

Hybrid lenses provide numerous benefits that make them a worthwhile investment for many patients:
 

• Exceptional Visual Clarity: The rigid gas-permeable center ensures sharper and more precise vision compared to soft lenses.

• Enhanced Comfort: The soft outer skirt eliminates the initial discomfort often associated with RGP lenses.

• Longer Wearing Time: Many patients find hybrid lenses more tolerable for extended periods, making them ideal for all-day wear.

• Customizable Fit: These lenses are tailored to fit the unique shape of your eyes, ensuring optimal comfort and performance.
   

What to Expect When Transitioning to Hybrid Lenses

Adapting to hybrid lenses is typically a smooth process. During your fitting appointment at Dr. Timothy P. Kenkel and Associates, we’ll take precise measurements of your eyes to customize your lenses for a perfect fit. You may need a short adjustment period as your eyes get used to the new lenses, but most patients report significant improvements in both comfort and vision shortly after starting.
