Hybrid Contact Lens

What Is A Hybrid Contact Lens?

A hybrid contact lens combines a Gas Permeable (GP) or “hard” lens) centre with a soft skirt to give you the clear, crisp vision of a “hard” lens and the comfort and ease-of-wear of a soft lens. Hybrids combine the best of both worlds: the crisp vision of a high-oxygen rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens with the all-day comfort and convenience of a soft lens.

Hybrid contact lenses are a better choice over soft contact lenses for patients who have Keratoconus, Astigmatism or Irregular Cornea as they can be tailored for the perfect fit to each individual. Hybrid contacts retain their shape better than soft contact lenses which results in crisper and more consistent vision.

Hybrid contact lenses clean and disinfect easily, don’t dehydrate, are easier to handle, and last longer than soft lenses. They offer excellent eye health: because they don’t contain water like soft lenses do, they resist deposits and are less likely than soft contacts to harbor bacteria.

Who Should Use Hybrid Contact Lenses?

Hybrids are specifically designed to restore vision to patients with the many types and stages of keratoconus.

At In2Eyes we take the time ensure you will be fully comfortable with contact lens preparation, cleaning and insertion. Your Hybrid Contact lens will be custom fit for your prescription as well as the shape and size of your eye.

Fitting The Hybrid Contact Lens

At In2Eyes, we use sophisticated machinery to map your eye topography which enables us to better align the back surface of the lens with the cornea. By measuring the exact shape of your cornea we can prescribe lenses with the curvature, size, and corrective power that suit your particular eyes.

The two most common type of Hybrid lenses are Ultrahealth and Duette HD. Duette HD’s are available in single vision or multifocal designs.
