On April 28, 2021, an analysis in Contact Lens and Anterior Eye listed BostonSight as the leading institution of scleral contact lens-related articles. The analysis, titled “Bibliometric analysis of the literature relating to scleral contact lenses,” was written by Nathan Efron, Lyndon W. Jones, Phillip B. Morgan, and Jason J. Nichols.
The analysis shows the number of scleral lens papers published each year over the past century. After a publication in 1888, “there was a 44-year hiatus in the scleral lens literature until William Feinbloom published a paper on the topic in 1932…” and “few papers were written on scleral lenses until 2007, from which time there has been a steady increase in the number of publications, peaking at 61 papers in 2020.”
BostonSight is listed as #1 in the list of the 10 most impactful institutions in the field of scleral contact lenses ranked by h-SCL-index, with 29 total papers.
