Over the last few years, Dr. Elise Kramer, Optometrist in Miami, and Robert Sheir, eye care specialist, have created a unique scleral lens practice. The lenses we fit are customized to each individual eye. Our philosophy for fitting scleral lenses is to use the best that modern technology has to offer. We implement that philosophy by using the most recent materials, the best diagnostic equipment, and highly specialized software and computers to address all the vision issues faced by our high-needs patient population.
The scleral lenses designed by Dr. Kramer and Sheir are a major advance in specialty lens care. Our Miami eye care practice focuses on eyes compromised or damaged by surgery, trauma, or disease. The ocular conditions for which we provide care include keratoconus, post-surgical corneal damage and severe dry eye, to name just a few.
Specialty lens design and fitting comprise one of the most challenging and time-consuming skills facing eye care practitioners today, especially for those who lack specialized training and experience.

Contact lenses are a convenient and satisfying alternative to eyeglasses.
The first step to a contact lens fitting is a comprehensive eye exam in our Miami Optometrist practice.
This is our regular exam that determines overall eye health and eyeglass prescription.
These baseline measurements are essential to infer an adequate contact lens evaluation and allow us to rule out any eye health problems that may interfere with successful contact lens wear.
Before deciding that contact lenses are right for you, the risks and benefits need to be discussed as well as any lifestyle concerns.

Scleral lenses are a specially designed type of contact lens used to correct vision and/or restore the ocular surface, often when other treatments are not effective.
Patients who cannot obtain good vision or comfort with glasses or conventional contact lenses can benefit from using scleral lenses.
Though scleral lenses began as a specialty treatment, they have become an increasingly popular choice in recent years even for people who have normal corneas.
Each scleral contact lens is custom-made for the patient.

Scleral lenses are a powerful vision correction option for patients who have not found success with other methods.
These custom-made lenses are designed to sit on the sclera (the white of the eye) and vault over the patient's cornea in a way that reduces discomfort and minimizes the impact of corneal irregularities.
In some cases, though, the fitting process can take a long time-involving weeks or months of appointments, trial, and error.
That isn't the case at Miami Contact Lens Institute.
Here, we make use of the revolutionary sMap3D technology, developed by the company Visionary Optics.

The EyePrintPRO is a prosthetic contact lens.
It is like a scleral lens in that the weight of the lens rests on the sclera (the white part of the eye) and vaults over the cornea.
The EyePrintPRO is made from the same oxygen-permeable material used for scleral lenses.
Because of these similarities, the EyePrintPRO has similar uses and benefits as scleral lenses.
This prosthetic device can provide clear vision and high levels of comfort to patients with irregularly shaped corneas.
Using patented elevation-specific technology, each EyePrintPRO device is designed to provide an exact match for the corneal irregularities of each individual eye.

Although orthokeratology is a treatment that has been available for over 40 years, there is increasing recent interest in the last decade.
This is a revolutionary non-surgical technology in which contact lenses are designed to safely and gradually reshape the curvature of the front surface of the eye (the cornea) to improve or eliminate nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), astigmatism and presbyopia.
These are rigid gas permeable contact lenses that are designed to be worn overnight while sleeping.
