  • PROSE coming to Philadelphia?

    Are there any plans for Boston Foundation to set up a site in Phila.?

    Boston Foundation for Sight is very interested in being in Philadelphia and will continue to explore opportunities to develop a PROSE Provider partner there, but there are not immediate plans for a clinic in the area. The three closest providers are listed below and you can also search for the closet PROSE clinic by zip code or city/state and get contact information here: www.bostonsight.org/providers. Good luck!

    Weill Cornell Eye Associates (86 miles)
    Weill Cornell Medical College

      Glad to hear there is interest in developing a PROSE provider in Philadelphia at some time in the future.
      Does the PROSE fitting process entail wavefront measurement for higher order aberrations? I am very interested in PROSE as a possible solution.
      Thank you for being on this forum!

        Blinks,

        The PROSE fitting process does not entail wavefront measurement for higher order aberrations. Our doctors do not report needing it in order to get good results with higher order aberrations.

        You can read more about the fitting process and answers to frequently asked questions about PROSE treatment here: www.bostonsight.org/new-FAQ

        Hope this helps!
