scleral lenses

[dian2]

I need a list of providers of scleral lenses in the Bay Areal of California. Can you help?

Dr. Fazio,

FYI there was a third California provider on the Scleral Lens website; one who is closer to southern CA (although I recognize Hemet is a bit outside of greater Los Angeles).  I will paste the information below in case it is ever helpful to you.

Thank you and the other doctors for all the work you do in responding to patients in this forum and the Eye Care Community.  We all appreciate it very, very much!

From the Scleral Lens Education Society website: a scleral lens fitter in SoCal is

Thank you, Flossy 93!  I did not know of these scleral lens providers, since I am in southern California.  I will keep them in mind in case other patients ask.

I checked the Scleral Lens Education Society website and they listed two scleral lens fitters in northern California; one in Berkeley and one in Sacramento.  

I hope one of these can help answer questions about fitting and providing these lenses.  There may be others to which these practitioners might be able to refer you.  Good luck.
