FOR PATIENTS | Patients We've Helped

Harry Daniels, a senior partner in a leading Boston law firm, had struggled with keratoconus for almost 20 years when he came to the Boston Foundation for Sight for help with his vision. The condition of his corneas severely limited his ability to function without the Foundation’s Boston Scleral Lens. Unexpectedly, the cornea of his left eye developed a perforation and he underwent urgent corneal transplant surgery. While waiting the customary year or more for the transplant to heal, disaster struck again, this time he lost the sight in his right eye. No longer able to read or drive, his life had come to a halt.

The prospects were grim; it would take another six months before the transplanted cornea in the left eye would have useful vision, and even that was uncertain. The unique design of the Boston Ocular Surface Prosthesis enabled it to be fitted to his still-healing left eye and he left the Foundation’s offices with 20/20 vision in that eye, seeing better than he had in decades. Now a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors, Harry declares: "The Foundation truly works miracles everyday!"
