Ocular Prosthetics

Ocular prosthetics refer to artificial devices designed to replace a missing or damaged eye. In the field of general ophthalmology, these prosthetics, often made from silicone or acrylic, help restore the appearance of the eye and provide emotional comfort to individuals who have lost an eye due to injury, illness, or congenital conditions. While they do not restore vision, ocular prosthetics are customized to match the appearance of the natural eye and are fitted by specialists to ensure comfort and proper movement with existing eyelids. Regular check-ups are important to maintain their fit and appearance.
