Scleral Lenses

Scleral Lenses in Flower Mound

Dr. Kumar Patel offers expert scleral lenses in Flower Mound for irregular corneas. These large, gas-permeable lenses vault over the cornea, filled with preservative-free saline (e.g., Lacripure) to create a smooth optical surface. This reduces glare, halos, and starbursts, unlike glasses or soft lenses. Learn about our services.

Keratoconus and Scleral Lenses

Keratoconus involves slow corneal thinning into a cone shape, distorting vision. Scleral lenses vault over the cornea, providing clear vision where glasses fail. See our Keratoconus page for details.

Post-LASIK Vision Correction

LASIK thins the cornea, often causing dry eyes or fitting issues with soft lenses. Scleral lenses rest on the sclera, correcting irregular corneal surfaces for better vision and comfort.

Post-RK Vision Improvement

Radial Keratotomy (RK) causes glare and halos from corneal scarring. Properly fitted scleral lenses offer sharp vision, especially at night, and lasting comfort.

Dry Eye Syndrome Relief

Dry eyes reduce vision quality and lens comfort. Scleral lenses create a saline reservoir, easing redness and discomfort. Studies show 85% of patients find relief. Learn more at the National Keratoconus Foundation.
