How does the Boston Scleral Lens Prosthetic Device help?
Our device maintains a reservoir of oxygenated artificial tears over the eye that constantly bathes the cornea and provides a nurturing (therapeutic) environment that can virtually eliminate the pain and photosensitivity, help the cornea heal and improve vision. In most cases, the relief is dramatic and experienced almost immediately. Are you a candidate for the BSL? Because the process ofcustom-fitting this device is costly and time-consuming, only patients who are severely disabled by this disease and have not responded to other treatments can be considered. We do not accept patients without a referral from their eyecare doctor and require a detail report describing the condition of your eyes including documentation that all other available treatments have been unsuccessful. The mission of the 501(c)(3) Boston Foundation for Sight is to give the highest quality of care to all and turn no one away because of inability to pay.
