Faq
When patients first lose their eye, their initial problems involve getting used to judging distance and reduced side vision and getting good advice. Patients whose occupations involve face to face contact with the public are more concerned about their appearance and reduced visual range than those whose jobs do not involve the public. After a couple of years, the initial problems become less important and concerns about socket discharge (sleep in the eye) and shrinkage of the orbital tissues take their place. The good news is that modern surgical techniques are available to counter the shrinkage and good prosthetic eye care reduces the discharge.
Adults should replace their artificial eyes every 5 to 8 years to keep pace with changes to the socket. Children’s’ eyes are replaced every 2 or 3 years to keep pace with growth.
Not more frequently than monthly and not less frequently than six monthly.
For Three hundred years prosthetic eyes were made of glass and fitted by optometrists. When plastic was invented in the 1930s it was quickly adopted by dental technicians as a denture base material. It was then found to be a better material than glass for making prosthetic eyes. This is why most prosthetic eyes today are made and fitted by members of the dental profession rather than by members of the optometry profession.
Modern prosthetic eyes are made of (poly) methyl methacrylate (PMMA) – a medical grade of perspex. Denture bases are made of the same material.
