Eye Doctor in Hawaii Kai | Kahala Eye Clinic

Do your eyes feel irritated while enjoying the outdoors in Hawaii Kai? Whether you’re hiking Koko Head, boating on the marina, or playing golf under the sun, environmental factors like wind, sun, and saltwater can lead to dryness, irritation, and blurry vision.

Advanced Specialty Contact Lenses

For many Hawaii Kai residents, specialty contact lenses from Kahala Eye Clinic in Kahala provide comfort and eye health benefits beyond what traditional lenses offer. Our scleral lenses vault over the cornea and maintain a customized tear reservoir, delivering lasting relief from dry eyes, while RGP lenses allow enhanced oxygen flow and reduce tear evaporation. Custom scleral lenses are a type of specialty contact lens designed for patients with irregular corneas or severe dry eye. The lacrimal glands are responsible for producing the aqueous layer of tears, which is essential for maintaining eye moisture and health, while the meibomian glands produce the oil layer that prevents tear evaporation. Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a leading cause of dry eye, as blocked or inflamed glands prevent the release of the oil layer.

By stabilizing your tear film, these advanced lenses can significantly improve tear quality and overall eye comfort, even for complex conditions like dry eye disease or corneal irregularities, as part of our personalized, comprehensive eye care. Our eye doctor specalizes in custom lenses and will help determine which lens type is ideal for your needs and lifestyle.

Additional Scleral Contact Lens Information for Hawaii Kai Residents

Scleral contact lenses are larger, advanced lenses designed to vault over the cornea and create a nourishing tear reservoir, providing relief for severe dry eye symptoms and corneal irregularities, including keratoconus, which are key aspects of our comprehensive eye care in Honolulu. Common symptoms of dry eye disease include a gritty sensation, redness, burning, tearing, and difficulty wearing contact lenses. Recognized by the National Eye Institute, these lenses help patients achieve clear vision and lasting comfort. Scleral lenses can provide both temporary relief and long-term comfort for dry eye discomfort. Punctal plugs are another treatment option used to conserve tears and provide longer-lasting lubrication for many patients with dry eye within our broader eye care services at Kahala Eye Clinic. Many patients experience significant improvement in comfort and vision with these advanced solutions. Hawaii Kai residents struggling with persistent dry eye or challenging lens fits can rely on our specialists to recommend the most suitable solution.
