• “Sophie is a brilliant optometrist and really knows her stuff about fitting contact lenses for complex corneas (post refractive surgery RK in my case). I have recently been fitted with Eyeprint contact lenses. For anyone with eye problems be it post-lasik or anything else I cannot recommend Sophie highly enough. I spend 2.5 hours in the car each way to see her as I have not been able to find the expertise or service anywhere else. It’s so worth it.”

  • “I have keratoconus and am very short sighted. When my optician retired, I needed a specialist who could handle my complex needs. I found Sophie and she didn't disappoint! Last year, I changed over to scleral lens on Sophie's advice - they are amazing, so comfortable, and vision is very sharp.”

    -G.R.

  • “I was diagnosed with keratoconus back in 2008, and sadly lost my pilot’s licence due to quick progression of the KC in 2014. I thought my flying days were over and slowly came to terms with the fact that I would never fly again. I decided to go and visit Sophie to see if she could help. We tried many lenses, and after a couple of months Sophie finally found the solution. AMAZING!!! I passed the Class 1 aviation medical required to get back flying in 2015. Without Sophie, my life would have severely changed. Not only professionally but in my everyday life. I would highly recommend Sophie to anyone who needs eye care and specialist lens fitting.”

    -D.C.

  • “I have been with Sophie since before she opened in Hove and have enormous trust in her ability to look after my (somewhat wonky) eyes that need special contact lenses. Her team are unfailingly helpful and pleasant and her range of frames makes her practice special - they’re stylish and different. I cannot recommend the practice and Sophie enough.”

    -S.D.

  • “Sophie and the team always provide a fantastic, professional service. As someone with a particularly 'awkward' keratoconus prescription, I'd all but given up hope of getting a decent level of vision back, but Sophie worked a miracle! Would recommend to anyone.”

    -K.C.

  • “The Eyeprint Pro lenses are fantastic - from the imprinting process which felt very relaxing thanks to Sophie’s empathetic and gentle application to the final bespoke lens itself. These are the best lenses in terms of comfort and visual acuity with the simplest care regime of any hard lens I have tried. And I have tried them all over the years. If you want excellent vision from lenses you can wear all day long without noticing, try these. The fact that they have negated the need for eye surgery for my grumpy lens-intolerant corneas is the icing on the cake. Try them and you won’t look back.”

    -S.H.

About

The Scleral Lens Centre offers the full range of contact lens services and the latest eye scanning technology to profile and monitor the shape of the eye.

Despite our name, the Scleral Lens Centre does not solely focus on the fitting of scleral lenses. Scleral lenses are becoming increasingly well known amongst those with complex visual needs thanks to the superior comfort, stability and vision they can provide.

However, we fit it all types of complex and specialist lenses including corneal, hybrid, specialist soft lenses and cosmetic lenses, for an array of conditions.
