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.
