Frequently asked questions

A prosthetic eye is an artificial eye, custom-measured and painted, for people who have lost an eye or whose eye has lost its function. It is usually made of medical acrylic.

No. A prosthetic eye does not provide vision. Its purpose is to preserve the natural appearance of the face and the shape of the eye socket.

If an orbital implant sphere was placed during surgery, the prosthesis carries part of that implant's movement. The amount varies from person to person; without an implant, movement is more limited.

Your ophthalmologist, who follows your healing, makes this decision. During this period a conformer is usually worn to keep the shape of the eye socket.

It is washed by hand with lukewarm water and a mild cleanser recommended to you. Alcohol, cologne and acetone are not used. Using a suction cup for removal protects the prosthesis and the eyelid.
