Membership allows contact lens fitters access to the practitioner's section of the website that contains scleral lens fitting resources.
One of the most frequent questions we get from members is: "How do I get my name listed in the Fitters section of the website?" To be listed as a Fitter on the website, you must become a Fellow of the SLS.
Optometrists, ophthalmologists, and Fellows of the Contact Lens Society of America (FCLSA) who have proven themselves in the field of scleral lens fitting can apply for status as a Fellow of the Scleral Lens Education Society.
The process of applying for fellowship in the SLS has changed, and is now based on a 60-point merit system.If you b
egan applying prior to the change, you may still apply using the old process. Email Pam Satjawatcharaphong at
[email protected] to find out if this
to you, or
