Nicole, a two time cancer survivor and a patient of the USC Roski Eye Institute in Los Angeles, is being treated for severe dry eyes which were caused by ocular Graft verses host disease (GvHD). One of the effects of GvHD is that her eyes are unable to produce natural tears which is extremely painful. For three years, Nicole had been looking for a cure and it was only until she met Dr. Gloria Chiu did she find one. Dr. Chiu is an experienced optometrist at the USC Roski Eye Institute with an extensive background in treating patients with GvHD, a rare condition. Nicole was prescribed the PROSE (prosthetic replacement of the ocular surface ecosystem) treatment, which looks similar to a contact lens and reduces symptoms, supports healing and improves vision. The USC Roski Eye Institute is the third of 12 sites in the nation to offer the PROSE treatment.
