“My name is Wayne Arruda and I’ve been coming to BostonSight since last March.
I switched primary care, went to a new primary care and they sent me to the Rhode Island Eye Institute who the first doctor looked at me and said, ‘You need to see another doctor,’ who was their surgeon. And he knew right away that I had basal cell carcinoma just from looking at it. It was so bad, that both lids, both the upper and the lower lids were removed.”
Learning about PROSE
So I went to Mass Eye and Ear and that’s where Dr. Freitag suggested the PROSE lens. So, the first time that Dr. Patel put the lens in, I had been through two years of every moment wishing I was dead. And he put that in, and it was almost like a miracle. It was miraculous. And now they know how bad the dryness is for the cornea, so I’m now on two lenses. A daytime PROSE lens, and a nighttime as well. Which greatly helped the stress of the eye and has stopped so much discharge coming from the mucous membrane in the upper lid.”
About BostonSight
For the almost two years before I got the PROSE lens, every day it was like, if I can’t get this eyeball removed, I can’t go on living. The pain is so severe. I’m extremely grateful. I think that BostonSight should b awarded at least recognition for their medical care. I found that everyone in this institution is just so respectful because I think this company hires only hires the greatest people. I’ve never had any issues of anything that I thought was incompetent or not done well. Everybody has just gone out of their way to help me. To help my eye feel better. And it has. Tremendously.”
