Scleral contact lens case

Postby Sean » Mon 25 May 2009 5:50 pm

Perhaps you can me. I am an out-patient at Moorfields Eye Hospital and just recently got a new scleral contact lens for the one I lost. However I didn't get that black plastic 2 inch case with it. The case stored 2 scleral lenses dry and the removal sucker implement. The optometrist in Clinic 4 of Moorfields said the pharmacy has them. The pharmacy say they do not have them. I can not get one anywhere, even online.

Can you help and advise as to where I can get one of those cases.

Regards,

Sean

Yup, I know the things - I have them for my lenses.
They come from Innovative Sclerals in Hertford.
Can I ask who told you the MEH Pharmacy have them? - I wonder if they should do and something in the supply chain has gone wrong - like, a supply was delivered and Pharmacy decided they didn't want to take up the space to store them.
SOmeone posted the Innovative Sclerals website on one of these forums only the other day - but I'm sure google wil find them.

Jay and Rosemary,

You are superstars. Thanks very much. It was a doctor in Clinic 4 who told. I have no idea what her name was but she was adamant. About as much adamant as the pharmacy that they never had them.

Thanks again for the website address and telephone number. I will be on to them right now.

Good luck!
Unfortunately not the first time that the clinis and the pharmacy don't appear to speak the same language.

Rosemary,

Not only do they do sing from the same hymn sheet, I got a reply from Moorfields today when I emailed them earlier this week. They confirm that the pharmacy does keep a stock to scleral cases, but I have already ordered the case from Innovative Sclerals. Anyway, if anybody wants some cases, here you are.

I give up with them.

Regards,

Sean

Now, would I be a total cynic if I wondered whether, since you contacted Innovative Sclerals, they have been onto Moorfields pronto asking what on earth happened to all those scleral cases we supplied you with?
Yup, OK, I'm a total cynic.
Mind, I did work inthe NHS dor seven years.......
