Dr. Richard Driscoll – Keratoconus Specialist
Specializing In Improving the Vision of Patients With Keratoconus
Residency Trained Keratoconus Specialist
“One of my greatest pleasures as a keratoconus specialist is seeing the joy our patients express when they get their new scleral contact lenses. We are able to change their lives and it’s wonderful being a part of that transition. It’s a great feeling, to me as their keratoconus specialist, when patients come to our office seeing 20/200 with glasses and after being fitted with new scleral contacts they then see well enough to pass a driver’s test.”

Keratoconus Specialist FAQ
Most patients require the services of a keratoconus contact lens specialist to restore their visual acuity by fitting keratoconus lenses. Scleral contact lenses are the treatment of choice for most patients. If surgery is required (typically less than 5% of patients) a corneal surgeon is needed.
