About an Artificial Eye for the users...

Eye loss triggers an emotional response in you (one eyed patient), the patient , and also in others who are around you, such as your family members and friends. The right information can assist you in understanding what will happen, and how to deal with the practical side of the eye loss. We are here to provide you with the highest quality prosthetic eye services available. We understand the loss of an eye can be devastating and know how important it is for your prosthetic eye to appear natural. We are experienced in making artificial eye or ocular prosthesis for both adults and children specially and perform all procedures with expert know-how and, thereby, frequently avoid surgery.




Before

The artificial eye looks like a natural eye--however, it is made of plastic(acrylic, highest grade of medical materials) and does not provide vision. An ocular prosthesis or artificial eye replace an absent of natural eye following an Enucleation, Evisceration or an Orbital Exenteration ( different types of eye remover surgery cause of some diseases), Phthisical eye(where eye will be present in the eye socket but vision will be not there and the cornea means the round black portion of the eye will be fully opaque/muddy or fully white).



We have vast experience in this field and we use the latest devices available to create near-natural artificial eyes. The prosthetic eye is made in such a way that it restores the shiny natural appearance, matches with the others eye and moves in the same direction as the patient's natural eye. The artificial eye is fully fabricated(hand-painted) in the presence of the patient to produce an accurate color match.
