At North Texas Ophthalmology Associates, we provide specialty contact lens fittings for patients with complex corneal conditions, ocular surface disease, and unique visual needs. These custom-designed lenses are prescribed when traditional soft contact lenses are not appropriate or effective.
Our goal is to improve both visual clarity and long-term ocular health through precise, individualized lens design and fitting.
Specialty contact lenses may be recommended for patients with:
Keratoconus or irregular corneas
Post-surgical corneal changes
Severe or chronic dry eye disease
High astigmatism or complex refractive errors
Difficulty achieving comfort or clarity with standard lenses
Each fitting begins with a detailed medical evaluation to determine the most appropriate lens type and ensure optimal corneal health.
Gas Permeable (GP) Lenses
Custom rigid lenses designed to provide crisp, stable vision for patients with irregular corneal shapes or higher refractive needs.
Scleral Lenses
Larger-diameter lenses that vault over the cornea and rest on the sclera. These lenses are often recommended for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, or significant dry eye disease, as they provide both visual correction and surface protection.
Our specialty lenses are individually designed and carefully fitted to ensure long-term comfort, clarity, and ocular health.
Many patients requiring specialty lenses also experience underlying dry eye disease or ocular surface dysfunction. Our team provides comprehensive evaluation and management of dry eye to support both comfort and visual performance.
If you have been told you are not a candidate for traditional contact lenses—or if you continue to experience discomfort or unstable vision—our team can evaluate whether specialty contact lenses are appropriate for you.
