Artificial Eye Fitting

Artificial eyes allow a person who has lost an eye due to injury or disease to boost their self-esteem. Without an artificial eye, their eye sockets will close in itself and their eyelids will droop. This alone makes it a better option than wearing an eye patch or a bandage.

Dr. Mark Paroli, our certified ocularist, makes wax impressions of the front of the eye socket after the patient’s surgery. The prosthetic eye is then carefully hand-painted to match the appearance of the healthy eye. Due to the advancement of technology and the skills of our doctors, artificial eyes are almost undetectable for people without training.  

Instructions regarding the care, cleaning, and maintenance of artificial eye will be provided as part of the treatment.
