PROSE Patients
Boston Foundation for Sight patients come to us from all over the country (including all six New England states - Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Massachusetts) and from around the world, seeking help for their eye sight. They have corneas that are damaged due to a variety of different reasons, including dry eye, Stevens Johnson syndrome (SJS or TENS), chronic ocular graft versus host disease (GVHD) and keratoconus, to name just a few.
