Not all contact lenses are created equal! 👁️

Take a look at the photos below. If you look at the side-angle shot, you'll see that these custom scleral lenses have a unique "vault" or depth to them.

Standard soft contacts sit directly on the sensitive cornea. But for patients with conditions like Keratoconus, high astigmatism, or Severe Dry Eye, standard lenses simply don't work and can be very uncomfortable.

That's where specialty lenses come in! Scleral lenses are custom-designed to arch over the cornea, resting gently on the white part of your eye. This creates a tiny chamber of soothing saline solution that bathes your eye all day long, providing immense dry eye relief and creating a perfectly smooth surface for crisp, clear vision. 💧

If you've ever been told you are "hard to fit" for contacts, don't give up hope. We just launched a brand-new page on our website detailing all the ways our specialty contact lens experts can help!

Itchy, red, watery eyes? Houston's spring allergy season is here, and it can be miserable.

To help you find relief and enjoy the season, our team of Houston eye doctors has put together a list of their top Do's and Don'ts for managing your symptoms.

DO THIS FOR RELIEF:

👍 Apply a Cold Compress: This provides immediate relief from itching and swelling.
👍 Wear Protective Sunglasses: Create a physical barrier that keeps pollen from getting into your eyes.
👍 Use Lubricating Eye Drops (Artificial Tears): They help rinse away allergens and soothe irritation.

AVOID DOING THIS:

👎 Rub Your Eyes: This is the most common mistake and it will make your symptoms worse by releasing more histamine.
👎 Wear Your Contact Lenses During a Flare-Up: Allergens get trapped under the lenses. Give your eyes a break and switch to glasses.
👎 Overuse "Gets the Red Out" Drops: These can cause rebound redness. Stick to lubricating or antihistamine drops instead.

While these tips can provide great relief, sometimes over-the-counter options aren't enough. Our comprehensive blog post explains when it's time to see a doctor for prescription-strength options that can make a dramatic difference.

It's Medical Monday! 🩺 This week, meet Melanie, one of our amazing scribes at Berkeley Eye Center. She's here to explain a condition that affects almost everyone over 40: Presbyopia.

If you're starting to need reading glasses or are holding your phone further away to see clearly, this video is for you. Melanie breaks down what presbyopia is and introduces a fascinating solution called Monovision, a technique where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision, allowing your brain to create clear sight without depending on glasses.

Could this be the solution for you? The first step is a comprehensive evaluation with our team to see if you're a good candidate.
