Scleral lenses are one of the most powerful tools in our clinical arsenal, but insertion and removal remain one of the biggest barriers to patient success.

That's exactly the problem Dr. Mile Brujic set out to solve.

ScleralEase is a single device designed for both the application and removal of scleral lenses, built around the reality of daily wear rather than the ideal scenario. It accommodates different patient preferences and abilities, making it easier to teach in the clinic and easier for patients to replicate at home independently.

Because the best scleral lens fit in the world doesn't matter if the patient can't get it in.

For clinicians treating keratoconus, irregular corneas, severe dry eye, and post-surgical cases, reducing the handling barrier leads to better compliance, better outcomes, and more confident patients.

Proud to highlight an innovation born directly from clinical practice, designed by an OD, for ODs and their patients.

Most practice owners know something is wrong. They just can't name it.

It's not one problem. It's five, hitting simultaneously, compounding each other, and slowly draining the joy out of a profession you worked years to build.

In The Invisible Team, Dr. David Kading calls them The Five Pressure Points:

- Talent Drain
- Admin Avalanche
- Revenue Squeeze
- Payer Wall
- Regulatory Maze

Here's what makes this so difficult: these five don't just add up, they multiply each other.

A staffing shortage makes the admin load worse. The admin load squeezes revenue. The revenue squeeze makes hiring harder. And the cycle continues quietly, relentlessly, until burnout becomes the norm and your practice runs you instead of the other way around.

There is a way out. And it starts with naming the problem.
