The process of fitting a prosthetic eye starts when we take an
exact impression of the socket using a soft, gel-like substance.
During this stage you may experience some minor irritation,
but the sensation subsides and is not painful. From the
impression, we then make a cast for a basic artificial eye that
fits you uniquely.
Custom painting and detailing follow, with close attention
given to iris and pupil size, iris alignment and coloration, and
the characteristics of the sclera of your natural eye.
Finally, we fit the eye and make fine adjustments as needed.
Erickson’s Eyes’ services include follow-up support to ensure
that your new eye is comfortable and continues to function
properly.
