What is a high riding contact lens?

A high riding contact lens is a type of contact lens designed to sit higher on the cornea than standard lenses. This design is typically used for patients with specific anatomical features, such as those with a higher-than-average lid position or certain types of refractive errors. These lenses can help improve vision and comfort for individuals who might struggle with traditional lenses due to their eye shape or eyelid position. High riding lenses are often customized to ensure proper fit and function.
