Welcome
A Message From the President

We hope that everyone is having a safe, fun, and
productive summer.  U.S. manufacturers continue
to report producing records numbers of scleral
contact lenses. Continuing to educate scleral lens
fitters, new and experienced alike, is the priority of the Scleral Lens Education Society (SLS).  With
that said, we are hosting another webinar in July
and are featuring two scleral case reports  
from Fellows of the society for this addition of
our newsletter.

Please don't hesitate to contact us through
the website (www.sclerallens.org) if you should
have any questions or comments.  
                               
Best regards,
Greg DeNaeyer, OD, FAAO
President Scleral Lens Education Society
