Houston Eye Associates A team of board-certified ophthalmologists & board-licensed optometrists in the Greater Houston Area.
(678)

Houston Eye Associates covers all areas of ophthalmic and optometric care, with treatments available in all specialties and for all ages. While most of our doctors perform annual eye examinations, all Houston Eye Associates physicians are specialty trained or fellowship-trained in one or more areas. These areas of specialization include: cornea, retina, glaucoma, pediatrics, refractive/LASIK/SMILE, oculoplastics, and uveitis. Vision is one of our most precious senses and should only be trusted to the best. Our optometrists offer full-service eye and vision care including annual eye exams, prescriptions for contact lenses and glasses, pediatric eye exams, or sports eye exams. They are trained to diagnose and treat eye disorders and vision conditions like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism, presbyopia, cataracts, keratoconus, glaucoma, and more. They may also test a person’s ability to focus and coordinate the eyes and see depth and colors accurately. Our optometrists are licensed by the state of Texas to examine the eyes to determine the presence of vision problems and visual acuity. They also prescribe low vision aids, vision therapy and may provide pre-and post-op care for laser surgery. Our optical shops offer a wide range of designer eyewear, premier sunglasses, soft contact lenses, colored contact lenses, and specialty contact lenses that include RGPs, Hybrids, and Scleral contacts.

Your eyes deserve comfort that lasts all day. 👁️

If you've been told you're "not a candidate" for contacts, or you're struggling with dry eyes, irregularly shaped corneas, or just can't get comfortable in regular lenses – scleral lenses might be your game-changer.

These specialized lenses vault over the cornea entirely, resting on the white part of your eye. The result? Hours of clear, comfortable vision when nothing else works.

Scleral lenses can help with:
✅ Keratoconus
✅ Severe dry eye
✅ Post-surgical corneas
✅ "Hard-to-fit" eyes

Your eyes deserve better than settling for uncomfortable vision. Our specialty contact lens team has helped thousands of patients who thought they'd never wear contacts again.

Ready to see if scleral lenses are right for you? Schedule your specialty contact lens exam today with an optometrist.
