CUSTOM OCULAR PROSTHESIS
A Custom Ocular Prosthesis is initially fitted after surgery, enucleation, or evisceration, due to cancer or trauma. A Scleral Shell is an Ultra-Thin Cover to go over a blind eye. The procedures are the initial fit, custom coloring of the veins and iris, insertion by the Ocularist and then any adjustments. In most cases, an Ocularist who is experienced and highly-skilled, obtaining a good fit will result in acquiring movement for a custom artificial eye.
A Custom Ocular Prosthesis is normally replaced every 3-5 years. Over time, body fluids absorb into the prosthesis, producing symptoms of tearing, excessive mucous, discomfort and pain. In addition, the socket goes through anatomical changed, which changes the fit of the custom prosthesis. Also, patients have weight changes which will affect the fiat.
