Scleral Lenses & RGP Contact Lenses

Scleral Lenses & RGP Contact Lenses in North York

Specialty lenses for keratoconus, dry eye, corneal irregularities, and complex vision needs.

Scleral and RGP (rigid gas permeable) lenses provide crisp, stable, and comfortable vision for patients who struggle with traditional contact lenses. At DeSouza Optometry, specialty lenses are an established part of our practice—not a new offering. We fit scleral and RGP lenses for a wide range of medical and visual conditions, using advanced imaging technology and years of specialty contact lens expertise.

Why Scleral Lenses?

Scleral lenses vault over the cornea and rest gently on the sclera, making them ideal for:

• Keratoconus

• Post-LASIK complications

• Corneal irregularities

• Patients who do not get good vision from glasses or soft

• Severe or chronic dry eye

• High astigmatism

Their fluid reservoir keeps the cornea hydrated and improves comfort dramatically.

Why RGP Lenses?

RGP lenses provide sharp, consistent vision and are excellent for:

• Moderate to high astigmatism

• Irregular corneas

• Patients wanting the clearest possible optical quality

They are durable, breathable, and custom-designed for long-term use.
