Seeking Affordable Scleral Lenses in Johannesburg?

I’m not sure how much assistance I’ll be able to get with this. I’m a 32 year old living with Keratoconus - it’s a degenerative condition that causes the eye to bulge and thin, resulting in drastic damage to eyesight. It’s not reversible, and can’t be helped with normal lenses or glasses.

I was able to get a pair of scleral lenses 5 years ago through my ophthalmologist, and they worked great, however they’ve met their end and I need a new pair.

My previous ophthalmologist has left the country left for greener pastures and I now no longer have an affordable specialist to assist me.

does anyone know anywhere where I can go for affordable consultation and get the lenses at a reasonable rate? Previous doc was R750 for consultation, and the lenses cost R13000 for the pair so looking in about that range.

Thank you in advance.
