Prosthetic Eye

An artificial replacement of any part of the body is known as prosthesis. A prosthetic eye is also known as an ocular prosthesis. An ocular prosthesis can be either ready made or custom made. A ready made ocular prosthesis is one that is made in bulk and supplied to optical shops. Such eyes are dispensed by the trial and error method where in the best matching eye in size and color is dispensed to the patient.

Where as a custom artificial eye is made by professional ocularists by taking the impression of the affected eye and made to match the better eye in size and color thus making the custom prosthesis natural looking.

A custom ocular prosthesis also moves in the socket along with the movements of the normal eye. A prosthetic eye is mainly used as cosmetic rehabilitation for the one eyed patients. A custom ocular prosthesis also has therapeutic uses in cases like microphthalmos and contracted sockets.

There are some prosthesis like orbits, nose, ear, fingers etc that are made by a softer silicon material as compared to the hard acrylic material used in the making of ocular prosthesis. The silicon prosthesis are made for larger defects where the skin is involved.
