Dr. Saaleha Savani, O.D., recently joined Cargo Eye Care of Las Colinas, bringing with her a passion for personalized eye care and a strong foundation in specialty lenses and myopia management. Her journey began years earlier as a technician, where she first discovered her love for helping patients achieve their best possible vision.

“I believe the best patient care starts with listening,” Dr. Savani says. “At Cargo Eye Care, I found a team that truly takes the time to understand each patient, build genuine connections, and deliver exceptional care.”

Dr. Savani holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Texas A&M University. She recently completed her graduate studies at the University of Houston College of Optometry. 

During her time in optometry school, she completed externship rotations at Cedar Springs Community Clinic in Dallas and Diagnostic Eye Center in Houston. Dr. Savani gained a tremendous amount of experience in pediatric care, specialty lens fittings, myopia management, and disease management. She has an extended scope license that allows her to prescribe oral medications as well as manage and treat glaucoma.

“Myopia management is one of the few specialties that's truly preventative care rather than palliative or curative care. So, we’re basically preventing problems like retinal tears and detachments, glaucoma, early onset cataracts, and a lot of issues that can cause blindness. I’m passionate about treating myopia early, because once a patient reaches that stage there’s not much we can do. But, caught early, we can prevent a lot of diseases and potentially prevent blindness. I was on the hunt for someone who was just as passionate as I was and who really cared about impacting people's lives, and Dr. Cargo and I just clicked.”

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Savani is a film buff who enjoys reading, dancing, singing, and spending time with family and friends.
