The ocular prosthesis is an aesthetic replacement of the eye, due to the total or partial lack of it, in people who have suffered a trauma or serious illness that has forced its removal.
This prosthesis is carried out by a professional ocularist who is trained in the elaboration and fitting of the prosthesis. The elaboration of the prosthesis is a process that requires several visits to the doctor for measurements, tests, painting and final assembly.
The patient is instructed on how to use and care for his or her ocular prosthesis and is provided with the required maintenance.
