Therapeutic contact lenses are specialized lenses designed to treat various eye conditions. They can help manage issues like corneal abrasions, dry eyes, and certain types of infections. These lenses provide a protective barrier over the eye, promoting healing and comfort. Unlike regular contact lenses, therapeutic lenses are often made from materials that allow for better oxygen flow to the eye. They can also deliver medication directly to the surface of the eye, enhancing treatment effectiveness. Eye care professionals typically prescribe these lenses as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with specific ocular conditions.
