When
a person learns that it is necessary to have an eye removed the news creates
understandable concern and apprehension. As ocularists with 45 years of
experience we understand the time it will take to
adjust to how this situation will affect the person's life, appearance and
ability to function.
Something that is often not considered at the
beginning of an eye loss, but which becomes an important factor after
surgery, is how one is going to look and deal with an ocular prosthesis
(artificial eye), and most importantly the ocularist you select to fit your
prosthesis.
Today,
thanks to remarkable advances by ocularists and new ocular implants, the loss of an eye no
longer has to mean the loss of a natural appearance. With the development of
motility implants like the Bio-eye ® Ocular Implant, near normal
eye motion
is possible
 The
Kolberg Ocularist firm has built this website to provide information for the
ocular prosthetic patient. This site and the world wide patient support it
contains, will provide you not only with a source of encouragement, but
indeed offers many good reasons to have optimism
about your life for now and the future to come.
Take a few
moments to review the patients stories. After reading the
individual experiences of others, we are sure you will find a story that
relates to your own personal circumstances.
As ocularists we encourage
you to correspond with your counterparts around the world since many of them
share your feelings and want to help you. If you feel you would like
to share your story with others, email us and we will add it to the patient story
pages.
Remember this, you are not alone...We created
this ocularist website to help you and provide you with useful information
based on forty five years of experience. We have fitted
thousands of eye prosthetic patients from every part of the globe with
ocular prostheses and flush fitting scleral shells allowing these patients to
return to normal and active lives. If needed we can help you find an
ocular plastic surgeon where you live that can
provide you with eye motion,
if possible to your ocular prosthesis.
Please feel free to contact
our office manager Russ Pierce to arrange
an appointment for a consultation with our Board Certified ocularists regarding a postoperative
ocular prosthesis fitting or
the refitting of your current ocular prosthesis. Our mission is to serve the
ocular prosthetic patient worldwide, using the latest ocularist techniques available
to create the most superb artistic and exceptional quality ocular prostheses
and flush fitting scleral shells.
