I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Do you want to know where to get Epicon lenses? A few years ago a company called Ultravision was promoting a new lens called Epicon, which was half way in size between a corneal lens and a scleral lens. As a hospital optometrist, I requested a fitting set, but was told they were having problems making the lens and it's launch was delayed. I didn't follow it up, because I subsequently found another company who were making a 14mm lens (Jack Allen) so I ordered theirs instead. I think Ultravision did eventually bring out the Epicon. I hope this is enough information for your Optometrist to follow up, if needed. Good luck!
