Ocular Prosthetics
Ocular prosthetics are artificial devices designed to replace a missing or damaged eye. These prosthetics are custom-made to match the appearance of the natural eye, helping to restore the patient's facial symmetry and improve their overall appearance. They are typically made from materials like acrylic or silicone and are fitted to the eye socket.
The process of obtaining an ocular prosthetic involves consultation with an ocularist, a specialist trained in fitting and creating these devices. After taking measurements and creating a mold, the ocularist crafts a prosthetic that closely resembles the patient's other eye, ensuring comfort and a natural look.
