BostonSight PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) is a medical treatment pioneered by BostonSight that restores visual function, supports healing, reduces symptoms, and improves life for patients suffering with complex corneal disease.  PROSE treatment uses FDA approved custom designed and fabricated prosthetic devices to replace or support impaired ocular surface functions.
