Karla was born with Moebius Syndrome, a rare neurological condition that restricts facial movement due to underdeveloped facial nerves. As a result of her condition, Karla is unable to blink naturally, which leaves her eyes continuously exposed and leads to severe dryness. In March 2023, her optometrist recommended that she consider PROSE treatment. Karla and her husband traveled to Houston, TX, to consult with PROSE Provider Dr. Christina Abuata at the Alkek Eye Center. Within a week, Karla received the lenses that would “transform her life.”
“Part of the miracle for me was having corrected vision without my glasses,” Karla shared. With her new lenses, she can engage in activities without concern. She enjoys spending time outdoors and now has no difficulties in dry environments, such as during flights.
Prior to PROSE, Karla spent her days and nights constantly applying various eye drops and ointments just to find relief from the air exposure. Karla encourages others embarking on PROSE treatment to, “Be Bold. Be Encouraged.”
“I cannot express enough… this is a fantastic, fantastic invention! You can put something in your eyes that you never thought possible. It’s remarkable.”
