Custom made Ocular Prosthesis

We Like To Think People Aren’t Judge By Their Appearance, But They Are

Prosthesis means the replacement of any body part by an artificial substitute. An ocular prosthesis is an artificial eye which helps to improve the appearance of people who have lost an eye due to injury or disease

The disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye of a person can cause significant emotional, social, and psychological problems. The rehabilitation of a patient who has suffered the psychological trauma of an ocular loss requires an Artificial eye that will provide the optimum cosmetic and functional result. Although the patient cannot see with the Artificial eye, it will definitely restore their self-esteem and allow them to confidently face the world.
