scleral contact lens Providers

[DougAcorn]

My surgeon at the Wilmer Institute in Baltimore would like me to see a contact lens fitter that specializes in fitting the Scleral Contact lens.

I have been provided with two names.  One is Robert Breece, OD in Front Royal, VA who is 75 miles away and the other is Nick Siviglia in Lancaster, Pa about 150 miles away.

Do you know of any Lens fitters in the Washington, DC area preferable Rockville, MD that specializes in fitting the Scleral Contact lens?

Thank you,

Doug

You might check with The Retina Group of Washington http://www.retinagroup.org/ - not sure if they have scleral contact lens or not. They did my scleral buckle surgery.

Hi, Doug;

I was referred to Dr. Breece yesterday by my doctor at the Wilmer Eye Institute for scleral lens fitting. Just wondering what your experience was like.

Thanks for the input.  I am planning on visiting a OD in the Front Royal, VA area in a week or two.
