			FOR PATIENTS atients come to the Boston Foundation for Sight, desperate for relief from devastating corneal disorders such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, keratoconus, distorted corneal transplants, corneal degenerations and dystrophies, corneal scars, disabling dry eye disorders and eyelid abnormalities that cause severe eye damage. For many suffering from keratoconus, corneal dystrophies and degenerations, our lenses can replace the need for corneal transplant surgery with its potential for serious complications, long healing period and uncertain visual outcome and can recover vision when a corneal transplant fails to heal properly. Our lens device can often dramatically reduce the pain and light sensitivity and nurture the corneal healing in severe dry eyes, that often accompany chronic Graft-vs-Host Disease, Sjogren's Syndrome *and* Stevens-Johnson syndrome. It can also protect anesthetic corneas that are vulnerable to developing erosions, ulcers.and provide an alternative to tarsorrhaphy. Unfortunately we cannot help patients with glaucoma, cataracts, optic atrophy or retina problems such as macular degeneration, Retinitis Pigmentosa, or vision problems related to Diabetes.
