The Artisan Eye

Our artificial eyes are more than placeholders. They are as unique to you as your existing eye. Each one of our artisan eyes is meticulously hand-painted and precisely shaped using the most specialized eye fabrication technology available. From the color and positioning of the iris to the subtle tones and veining of the white of the eye (the Sclera), matching all of the physical characteristics of your natural eye is our chief area of expertise.

Our Philosophy

We recognize that the loss of an eye can be an exceptionally difficult personal experience. Once you have decided that a prosthetic replacement is right for you, we are there to help you every step of the way. From your first consultation to billing your insurance company, you can always expect the highest level of professionalism and understanding from Erickson’s Eyes.
