Scleral Contact Lenses in Dallas, TX
Specialized Vision Correction for Keratoconus, Dry Eye & Hard-to-Fit Eyes
At Fagadau, Swanson & Mirza, M.D. in Dallas, we provide advanced scleral contact lenses for patients who need superior comfort, stability, and visual clarity—especially those with irregular corneas, keratoconus, severe dry eye, or post-surgical vision issues.
Scleral lenses offer a unique, highly successful solution when traditional soft lenses or standard rigid gas permeable lenses are not comfortable or effective.
What Are Scleral Contact Lenses?
Scleral lenses are custom-designed, rigid gas-permeable lenses that vault over the cornea and rest comfortably on the sclera (the white part of the eye).
They create a fluid reservoir between the lens and the cornea, providing:
-
Exceptional moisture for dry or sensitive eyes
-
Crisp, stable vision even with irregular corneas
-
Enhanced comfort compared to traditional hard lenses
These lenses are ideal for patients who have struggled with other types of contacts or glasses.
How Scleral Contact Lenses Work
Scleral lenses function differently from standard contact lenses:
1. The Lens Vaults Over the Cornea
No pressure is placed on sensitive or irregular tissue.
2. A Liquid Reservoir Protects the Eye
The space under the lens is filled with sterile saline, promoting healing and moisture.
3. Vision Is Refracted Through a Smooth Surface
Even the most irregular cornea receives smooth, stable optics.
4. The Large Diameter Improves Stability
Scleral lenses move very little, offering consistent all-day clarity.
