Thank you to Scott K. who submitted his family’s story on our website. under the Share Your Story link at the bottom of our Patient Success Stories page. Patient stories are incredibly important in helping others better understand the need for and the process and benefit of PROSE treatment.
“During the summer of 1997, our daughter, age 8, had an allergic reaction to bactrim, for which she was on day 9 of a 10-day regiment. We took her to a children’s hospital in Atlanta, Georgia, where she was diagnosed with Stevens Johnsons Syndrome. It was 10 days of hell for her, my wife, and me. The most severe effects of SJS were with her eyes. Light hypersensitivity, constant pain, and constant corneal ulcers all contributed to her anxiety (and ours).
For 18 years, our daughter dealt with the above. At age 26, our daughter’s eye doctor informed us about the PROSE treatment. We took her to Boston during Thanksgiving week of 2015. The staff were so supportive. The men, women, and children who we met who were being treated all had life-changing stories to tell about their journey to be at Boston. It was truly a miracle! The very first day, after being fitted with PROSE devices, my daughter was able to go outside, in the daylight, not having to wear two pairs of sunglasses! From that first day, her’s and our lives changed for the better. She had endured 18 years of misery because of her eyes, and just having the ability to be able to view the world through new eyesight was absolutely life-changing.
We are truly grateful for Boston Sight! My daughter has since married. She and her husband have a healthy baby boy! Thank you Boston Sight for changing our lives and the lives of many that we met on our first journey. We are very grateful! – Scott K.
