Insight Vision Center Optometry is proud to share the story of Dr. Schramm’s recent trip to Armenia, where he introduced scleral lenses to local eye care providers. His work supports our ongoing goal of bringing advanced vision solutions to communities that need them most.
Traveling to Armenia gave Dr. Schramm the chance to partner with local optometrists and learn about their daily challenges. Together, they explored new ways to improve patient care.
Armenia’s rich history and strong spirit shape its approach to health care, yet limited access to advanced technology can slow progress in specialized fields like optometry.
During on site workshops, Dr. Schramm shared practical fitting techniques and answered questions about complex cases that previously lacked good solutions.
Hands on demonstrations allowed Armenian providers to practice fitting scleral lenses on real patients, giving them skills they can now use every day.
Scleral lenses offer unique benefits for eyes that need extra care. They rest on the white part of the eye, creating a smooth optical surface and a protective fluid reservoir.
The larger design vaults over the cornea, avoiding direct contact and providing comfort even when standard lenses fail.
Patients with certain chronic or irregular conditions may gain clearer, more comfortable vision.
Scleral lenses improve visual clarity, reduce pain, and protect the eye’s surface, giving patients renewed confidence in daily tasks.
By teaching advanced techniques, our team helps local providers catch and treat serious eye problems before vision is lost.
Millions of people worldwide still lose sight from conditions that modern care can manage or cure when resources are available.
With new tools and training, Armenian optometrists can now offer solutions that were previously out of reach, preserving vision for many patients.
We continue to support global efforts that share knowledge, equipment, and hope with communities striving for better eye health.
The following questions address common concerns about scleral lenses and our outreach work.
They are crafted from oxygen permeable materials that let the eye breathe while providing a smooth, stable surface for clear vision.
Most patients become comfortable within a few days, though full adaptation can take up to two weeks with regular wear and follow up visits.
Yes. With proper fitting and guidance, children with specific eye conditions can safely use scleral lenses to improve vision and comfort.
Armenia has growing eye care needs and limited access to advanced contact lens technology. Sharing expertise there can make a quick and lasting impact.
We believe every person deserves the chance to see clearly. By working locally and abroad, Insight Vision Center Optometry strives to bring the best eye care solutions to everyone who needs them.
