Dr. Muriel Schornack is a board certified optometrist. She holds a fellowship from the American Academy of Optometry (AAO) and the Scleral Lens Education Society (SLS). She is a member of Mayo’s Facial Reanimation Clinic.

Some of the conditions that Dr. Schornack treats are; corneal ectasis, keratoconus, corneal irregularity due to scarring of surgery, ocular surface disease, and tear film dysfunction.

Dr. Schornack has a special interest in the fitting of scleral lenses. This involves the study of therapeutic applications for scleral lenses, clinical outcomes of scleral lens prescription for various indications, consensus-based guidelines for scleral lens fitting, patient-reported experience using scleral lenses for the treatment of eye disease, and clinical findings associated with scleral lens wear.

Additional research interests include investigating delivery of primary eye care, including assessment of refractive error, screening for ocular disease, and management of chronic ocular disease.
