Specialty Keratoconus Eye Care in Spring, TX
Clearer Vision Starts Here
If you're struggling with blurry, distorted vision or sensitivity to light, you may be dealing with keratoconus—a condition where the cornea becomes thin and cone-shaped. It’s a progressive issue that glasses or soft lenses can’t always correct. The good news? You’re not out of options.
At Family Vision Solutions, we help patients from Spring, The Woodlands, and the greater Houston area regain clarity and comfort through advanced specialty contact lenses and personalized care. Our clinic is led by Dr. Randy Charrier, one of the region’s top keratoconus specialists with over 30 years of clinical experience.
Our patients often tell us, “I wish I’d found you sooner.” That’s because we do more than treat symptoms—we design clear, comfortable solutions for people who thought they were out of options.
Why Keratoconus or 'Hard-to-Fit' Eyes Aren’t Hard for Us
We’re Built to Handle What Others Can’t
Many of our patients have been told that contacts aren’t an option or that surgery is their only path forward. But we specialize in “hard-to-fit” eyes—especially for patients with keratoconus, post-surgical corneas, and corneal scarring.
Using detailed corneal topography and the latest lens fitting technology, we design custom lenses that work with your eyes, not against them. Our goal is not just to improve your vision—it’s to make sure your lenses are comfortable, practical, and life-enhancing.
Most often, we fit patients with scleral lenses—a larger, more advanced contact lens that creates a smooth optical surface over your irregular cornea. But we don’t stop there. Whether it’s hybrid, gas-permeable, or specialty soft lenses, we’ll make sure the solution fits your lifestyle and your goals.
Our Experienced Keratoconus Doctors: A Track Record of Success
Both of our optometrists have significant experience with keratoconus:
With decades of clinical experience and a distinguished military background, Dr. Charrier has built a reputation as a leader in specialty contact lens care. During his time serving in the U.S. Navy, he was promoted to run the entire Specialty Contact Lens division at the NMCSD naval hospital in San Diego. His command of the clinics, which included overseeing 12 other optometrists across four branch clinics, made him responsible for treating and fitting lenses for every case of keratoconus and corneal injury or pathology for naval members and their dependents in the entire western United States and South Pacific region.
He brought this experience to Houston in 2012, where he founded Family Vision Solutions and the Specialty Contact Lens Center, and took over caring for Dr. Richard Ebling’s patients at that time as well. Since then, he has been seeing and treating more keratoconus patients on a daily basis than most optometrists see in a few months.
As a Diplomate in the Cornea, Contact Lens, and Refractive Technologies (CCLRT) section of the American Academy of Optometry, Dr. Charrier is proud to remain at the forefront of keratoconus and corneal pathology vision care.
Patients come from across Texas for Dr. Charrier’s care—and stay because of the life-changing results. One patient shared:
“Dr. Charrier and his staff are awesome! I drive over an hour one way—and I’d happily drive twice that. The help he’s given me has truly changed my quality of life.” – TM
Another patient, who had struggled with pain for decades after multiple eye surgeries, found relief for the first time in 40 years thanks to Dr. Charrier’s approach:
“He took so much time with me and explained everything with such compassion. For the first time in decades, I have no pain and I can see clearly—no double vision, no halos. I got my life back.” – JB
Recognized for her academic excellence and commitment to patient-centered care, Dr. Brown brings both expertise and compassion to her work in specialty optometry. After graduating as valedictorian of her optometry school class, she completed a specialized residency in Cornea and Contact Lens management. She has been with Family Vision Solutions since 2013 and frequently manages hard-to-fit corneal conditions with specialty contact lenses.
She is also a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry and combines a deep understanding of the keratoconus condition with a long history of patient care experience to provide thoughtful care and functional options to every keratoconus patient.
One longtime patient wrote:
“We love Dr. Brown! She’s amazing with my kids—and she helped me finally be able to see better at night to drive. I highly recommend this place for the whole family!” – JR
Dr. Brown’s approachable demeanor and technical expertise make her an ideal provider for anyone looking to feel truly seen and heard during their eye care journey.
Technology That Makes a Difference for Keratoconus: How We Get It Right Every Time
At Family Vision Solutions in Spring, TX, we don’t rely on guesswork—we rely on data. That’s why our practice is equipped with one of the most advanced arrays of diagnostic and lens-design tools available in any private clinic in Texas. Many of these technologies are found only in research facilities or university hospitals—but we use them every day to help keratoconus patients see clearly again.
The Most Accurate Prescription & Ideal Comfort—Made Possible by Tailored Scleral Lens Imaging
This is how we deliver vision you didn’t think was possible.
For scleral lenses to work, fit isn’t just important—it’s everything. And we go beyond traditional fitting methods with two of the most advanced imaging tools available anywhere in the country.
- Anterion® Biometry
As the only private clinic in Texas with this device, we use Anterion to capture high-definition scans of both the cornea and sclera. It gives us unparalleled insight into the true shape of your eye, enabling precision lens design that goes far beyond what most practices can offer. - S-Map® Scleral Topographer
This system produces thousands of data points across the white of your eye (the sclera) in just seconds. The result? A custom-fit lens that vaults perfectly over your cornea, stays centered, and feels incredibly natural from the moment you insert it.
Together, these tools allow us to create lenses that provide:
- The sharpest vision possible
- Maximum long-term comfort
- Minimal lens awareness—even for first-time wearers
This is the kind of lens you didn’t know existed—but always needed.
