Every case has individual needs
Assessment considers the socket, surrounding tissues, eyelid movement, surgical history and current comfort. Suitability, measurement method and design are then determined.
A clear process from assessment to maintenance
The journey includes initial assessment, measurement, form and colour design, fitting and adjustment, followed by cleaning, handling and follow-up guidance.
Stock versus custom prostheses
A custom prosthesis is shaped for the socket and matched to the fellow eye, which can improve fit and appearance compared with stock options. Results vary with anatomy and available tissues.
Care and maintenance
Removal and cleaning routines vary. Avoid unapproved products and arrange review if pain, discharge, fit change or visible surface damage develops.
What to bring to your appointment
- Details of previous surgery, if applicable
- Available medical reports
- Current prosthesis, if one is used
- Symptoms such as discharge, pain or poor retention
