BostonSight Continues PROSE Provider Network Expansion with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
Increasing Access to Life-Changing Treatment that Saves Sight in People with Severe Corneal Disease
BostonSight® announced today they welcomed The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center as the newest PROSE® Provider Network site along with Drs. Chantelle Mundy, OD, and Stephanie Pisano, OD. With the addition of Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, the BostonSight PROSE Provider Network now includes 19 sites in four countries.
PROSE by BostonSight is a medical treatment that saves sight in individuals with ocular surface disease. For many people, PROSE is often their only option to restore visual function and end suffering from critical and devastating eye issues resulting from complications of severe dry eye, keratoconus, ocular GVHD, Sjögren’s Syndrome, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, corneal damage or injury, and other corneal diseases. PROSE treatment teams include cornea specialist ophthalmologists and optometrists who have completed an intensive BostonSight PROSE Clinical Fellowship. During treatment, doctors customize prosthetic lens devices from gas-permeable polymers for each patient’s condition and unique eye shape. PROSE teams work in partnership with the patients’ other medical providers to ensure that treatment manages the underlying eye condition.
“At BostonSight we continue to expand our network of PROSE providers so that more patients can access this life-changing treatment,” said Sara Yost, BostonSight President and CEO. “With the addition of Ohio State Wexner Medical Center, we can help more patients in central Ohio and beyond. We are excited to welcome Dr. Mundy and Dr. Pisano, and the Wexner Medical Center team, to the PROSE Network.”“As a practitioner in the PROSE Provider Network, I’m looking forward to offering this customizable device to improve our patients’ vision and quality of life,” said Dr. Mundy. “This treatment adds to our ability to provide the highest level of treatment and care for our patients with ocular surface disease and advanced corneal conditions,” said Dr. Pisano.
