Prosthetic Eye

Prosthetic eye surgery is a procedure in which an eye prosthesis, also known as an artificial or glass eye, is placed inside the eye socket to replace a missing eye that has been lost or removed due to any reason, with the aim of restoring the natural appearance, but not the function, of the eye. However, eyelid function will be thoroughly supported after implanting the prosthetic eye. Prosthetic eye care includes polishing them every 4 to 6 months and although the glass eyes usually maintain their integrity for more than 10 years, many people may need a replacement every 5 years to ensure the eye socket is not hurt.
