“Dr. Shorter really listened to what I had to say.” comment from PatientExperience.net
Dr. Shorter fits both gas permeable and soft contact lenses for patients with a history of keratoconus, corneal surgery and aphakia. She is trained in the use of Prosthetic Replacement of the Ocular Surface Ecosystem (PROSE) devices to restore vision, reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for patients suffering with complex corneal disease. PROSE uses FDA-approved custom designed and fabricated prosthetic devices to replace or support impaired ocular surface system functions that protect and enable vision. She joined the faculty in 2010.
