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.
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 .
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.
In most cases your ophthalmic surgeon will refer you to an Ocularist they
have confidence in. Having your doctor’s guidance at this time is very
important to your ultimate result. If your doctor is not acquainted with an
Ocularist, we invite you to consult with our staff before you decide where
to have your ocular prosthesis fit.
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 prosthetic eye 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.
Please feel free to contact
our office manager Russ Pierce to arrange an appointment for a consultation with our Board Certified
Ocularists. Consultations include 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 ocularistry techniques available
to create the most superb artistic and exceptional quality ocular prostheses
and flush fitting scleral shells.
