If you have a complex cornea, post-LASIK complications, higher-order aberrations, dry eye symptoms, or need specialist contact lenses, we can help.
The Scleral Lens Centre specialises in helping people with complex or irregular eyes, including those with keratoconus, corneal grafts, post-LASIK complications, dry eyes or higher-order aberrations, to achieve clear and comfortable vision again.
Using the most advanced technology available, including the Eaglet Eye Surface Profiler, Ovitz X-Wave Aberrometer and EyePrint Pro system, we design entirely bespoke lenses shaped precisely to your eye.
Although scleral lenses are at the heart of what we do, we also fit a full range of specialist lenses such as corneal, hybrid, custom soft and cosmetic lenses to find the right solution for every individual.
Expert care, advanced vision correction
Led by Optometrist Sophie Taylor-West at the flagship Taylor-West & Co Optometrists clinic in Hove, the Scleral Lens Centre specialises in the fitting of scleral lenses and other custom contact lenses for complex eye conditions such as keratoconus, post-LASIK complications, and corneal grafts.
With over 18 years of experience, Sophie is recognised as one of the UK’s leading specialists in scleral and complex contact lens fitting. The clinic combines clinical expertise with state-of-the-art technology, including both EyePrint Pro impression-based lenses and OVITZ X-Wave HOA-correcting scleral lenses.
As one of only two centres in the UK to offer this combination of technologies, we provide an unparalleled level of precision and personalisation, helping patients achieve exceptional comfort, stability, and clarity of vision, even in the most challenging cases.

Optical Needs For Children
TW&Co also offers myopia management services for children and teenagers with myopia (short-sightedness) with specialist equipment to measure axial length, vital to monitor eye growth linked to myopic progression. Specialist contact lenses and glasses can be prescribed to slow down the progression of myopic changes.
