We are thrilled to announce that Léonard Kollros, MSc, our Lead Optometrist at the ELZA Institute, Dietikon, Zurich, has been conferred the notable title of Fellow of the Scleral Lens Education Society (FSLS). This FSLS distinction underscores Léonard’s unwavering commitment to enhancing the domain of corneal care, particularly through the utilization of scleral lenses in managing keratoconus.
With over six years of experience in fitting scleral lenses, Léonard has honed his proficiency in adapting these specialized lenses for individuals with corneal irregularities. His expertise is particularly pronounced in keratoconus cases, where the adaptation of scleral lenses plays a critical role in improving visual acuity and comfort.
In 2023, Léonard further contributed to the field by authoring a pivotal article titled “Scleral contact lenses fitted to extremely steep corneas,” which delves into the use of scleral lenses for managing extreme keratoconus. His insights have not only enriched the scientific community but also provided practical solutions for improving patient care.
Léonard’s devotion to advancing the knowledge and application of scleral lens technology has led him to the stage of numerous conferences both in Switzerland and internationally. His presentations continually shed light on the transformative impact of scleral lenses in addressing challenging corneal conditions.
The FSLS distinction by the Scleral Lens Education Society is a testament to Léonard’s remarkable contributions to the field of optometry and corneal care. We extend our hearty congratulations to Léonard on this significant achievement and look forward to his continued innovations in enhancing eye care practices.
