PROSE: Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem
Weill Cornell Eye Associates is one of only eight sites in the United States which offers PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) in collaboration with the Boston Foundation for Sight. PROSE is a pioneering treatment model developed by the Boston Foundation for Sight to restore vision, support healing, reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for patients suffering with complex corneal disease. PROSE uses FDA-approved custom designed and fabricated prosthetic devices to replace or support impaired ocular surface system functions that protect and enable vision. PROSE can be the ideal, and sometimes only, treatment capable of restoring vision and dramatically reducing symptoms such as eye pain, severe dry eye, blurry vision and light sensitivity.
Benefits:
- Reestablishes a healthy and stable ocular surface environment that supports healing and reduces symptoms
- Improves vision by masking surface corneal irregularities and transmitting a sharp image to the back of the eye
- Prevents damage by protecting and shielding the cornea and conjunctiva against the environment and eyelids
Together with our partners, we have successfully treated thousands of patients with conditions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome, chronic ocular graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), dry eye syndrome, SjogrenÕs syndrome, keratoconus, ocular trauma, complications of LASIK, and complications of cornea transplantation.
Our PROSE clinic opened in 2010 under the direction of Jessica Ciralsky, MD and PROSE Clinical Fellow Michelle Lee, OD
