I received my first scleral shell at six years old, but oddly enough, I rarely wore it. When I was young, I chose to be free of the discomfort they caused, except for school picture day and special occasions. I was referred to Kim at 20 years of age for my fourth scleral shell and after three days, I walked out with the most comfortable shell I had ever experienced.
Kim pays incredible detail to fit, agonizing over minuet adjustments to get it perfect. The reward is everyday comfort. Since that first shell of his, I have not gone a day without my prosthesis; and attention to fit is not where the product ends. The likeness of the shell to my “good eye” is so exact that most people have no idea I wear a prosthetic eye.
As a patient of Kim’s I have come to enjoy he and his office staff immensely. They are helpful, courteous, quick to smile, and diligent about accommodating all patients needs as best they can. I wholeheartedly recommend Erickson’s Eyes. You will walk away in awe.
