Not every eye is a perfect fit for standard soft contact lenses, and that’s okay. At Fort Worth Optometry Co., we offer specialty contact lens fittings for patients with unique vision needs, most commonly using scleral lenses.
Scleral lenses are larger, custom-made lenses that rest gently on the white part of the eye and vault over the cornea. They are ideal for people with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, severe dry eye, or high or irregular prescriptions that can’t be corrected with regular lenses or glasses. These lenses provide exceptional clarity and comfort, even for patients who have struggled with vision correction in the past.
Dr. Christian Cross and Dr. Matt Soriano take extra care in fitting these lenses, using detailed imaging and measurements to ensure the best possible fit and long-term eye health. It is a more involved process than a standard contact lens fitting, but for the right patient, the results can be life-changing.
If you’ve been told you’re not a candidate for contacts, or if you’ve had trouble finding clear, comfortable vision with other options, scleral lenses might be the solution.
