Serving Those Who Served: See-Green's Partnership with the U.S. VA Healthcare System

Since the invention of the See-Green® system in 2007, we’ve worked alongside eye care professionals across the country to improve the lives of scleral lens patients. A few years into that journey, we began supporting clinicians within the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system—and it has become one of the most meaningful partnerships we’ve built.
Today, we’re proud to supply VA medical centers across the United States that provide advanced scleral lens care for veterans.
Veteran’s Story
We’re constantly reminded why this work matters through the people we serve.
Patients dealing with corneal disease, trauma, or severe dry eye often rely on these lenses to function day-to-day. But insertion can be one of the biggest barriers to success.
That’s where See-Green® makes a difference.
Our patented, FDA-registered light-guided inserter uses a carefully calibrated green LED—selected because it is the most visible wavelength to the human eye—to create a clear visual target for alignment.
This transforms a frustrating, trial-and-error process into something intuitive, repeatable, and far less stressful.
Paul, a veteran who discovered us through the VA system, shared:
“I am blind in one eye… and 2400 in the other. Regular contacts don’t work for me. I was prescribed a scleral lens, but I could not put it in because my hands shake too much. But with this device I can easily insert it into my eye… Your lens inserter allowed me to get my eyesight back.”
This is exactly why we do what we do. Stories like Paul’s are why clinicians continue to look for better solutions.
“We had the patient in today and worked with your device—success. I have to admit, others were skeptical when I described what I wanted to try, but the outcome spoke for itself. I also appreciate your help with paperwork and the prompt delivery.”— Dr. Jim Williamson, OD, FAAO, Memphis VA
Supporting VA Centers Nationwide
We currently support a network of 15+ VA medical centers and specialty clinics across the country that are leaders in scleral lens care.
These centers represent some of the most advanced and specialized scleral lens programs in the VA system, and we are honored to support their work.
Trusted by VA Clinicians
Dr. Emmylou Swartz, OD, FAAO, FSLS, who has worked within the VA system, shared:
“I have been using your products for about 8–10 years… I would say 70% of my scleral lens patients utilize the See-Green stand and light.”
“I use it to train almost all new patients… Dexterity can be an issue from arthritis, tremors, etc., and this device makes lens application so much easier.”
For many VA patients, especially those with tremors, limited dexterity, or low vision, this tool spans from helpful to essential.
Designed for Real-World Challenges
Veterans often face unique physical challenges that make lens insertion difficult:
Tremors or neurological conditions
Arthritis or limited hand mobility
Low vision or monocular vision
Difficulty maintaining alignment
The See-Green® system was built specifically for these realities.
The hands-free stand stabilizes the lens
The green light provides a clear alignment target
The system allows use of both hands for eyelid control
Together, these features dramatically improve first-time success rates and reduce patient frustration.
Made in the USA
Every See-Green® system is manufactured and assembled in the United States.
Our products are hand-built, inspected, and sanitized to meet strict FDA requirements for safety, consistency, and quality.
This commitment to domestic manufacturing is something we take seriously, especially when serving those who have served our country.

Looking Ahead
While we’re proud of the partnerships we’ve built within the VA system, we know there are still veterans who could benefit from improved access to scleral lens solutions and the tools that make them usable.
We’re actively looking to expand our work with additional VA facilities and specialty clinics nationwide.
