Patients prescribed with various Scleral Contact Lens types provide critical feedback for innovating new designs. Marketing claims from optical labs are verified here through informal clinical trials.  Dr. Kurtin's network of referring Ophthalmologists or eye surgeons give insight into what technology truly works best for Lasik, PRK, Cataract and Corneal Surgery.
