Boston Sclerals Only In Boston?

[DAVID RUBE]

I'm curious why the Boston Scleral Lens is not marketed around the country. It seems odd that it's only available in at BFS.....

David,

There are scleral lenses available elsewhere. The Boston ones are best-known because this form of treatment is what the BFS does full time and they lathe their lenses on-site. The whole process of scleral fitting is so specialized that it is not something that can be easily replicated.

Check out this thread for more details, in particular, my last post in that thread (on page 2) which discusses the differences betweeen BFS sclerals and the other available sources.
