Artificial Eye

Artificial Eye (Ocular Prosthesis)

An artificial eye does not simply serve as a cosmetic replacement. It is a medical prosthetic skillfully designed to restore the appearance of the lost eye, enhance the patient's confidence, and alleviate discomfort from eye removal. MOBILITY Solution makes artificial eyes for patients that are tailored to their natural eye in shape, size, colour, and detailing.

Every artificial eye is custom-made to fit the patient's eye socket perfectly. It guarantees not only the natural look but also the comfort of wearing it every day. With more than 16 years of experience in prosthetics and a solid background in orthopaedic and prosthetic solutions, MOBILITY Solution continues to excel at producing highly realistic, high-quality, artificially designed eyes that perfectly match customer requirements.

What is an artificial eye?

A custom artificial eye, often called an ocular prosthesis, is a non-functioning prosthetic device. It is used to replace a lost natural eye. It contrasts with stock or off-the-shelf versions, as a custom artificial eye is made specifically for the patient, tailored to their eye socket structure and facial features.

The primary objective of the custom artificial eye is to: 

• Regain facial symmetry
• Enhance cosmetic appearance
• Maintaining the eye socket in it’s natural shape
• Improve confidence 
• Improve social comfort

A prosthetic eye can't restore vision, but it can significantly improve a person's quality of life by helping them feel comfortable with their appearance and facilitating daily interactions.

Design of our artificial eye

Two eyes are not the same. The same goes for our prosthetic eye. Our experts meticulously design our eyes. The designers customise them to match the exact shape of the eye socket. 

The design includes: 

• Measuring the eye socket properly
• Shape customisation
• Curvature customisation
• Iris size
• Iris positioning
• Pupil alignment 
• Scalera alignment 
• Better vein detailing

The aim is to develop a synthetic eye that harmonises seamlessly with the patient's other eye and overall facial features. A prosthetic eye is a bespoke item created solely for the patient.

Materials and Build Quality

At MOBILITY Solution, our experts incorporate medical-grade and biocompatible materials to manufacture artificial eyes. When it comes to long-term contact with the eye socket, these materials are safe. 

Material features:

• Durable for an entire day of comfort
• Smoother surface to reduce pain and irritation
• Durable construction for long-term use
• Resist discolouration with proper care

To ensure that the artificial eye remains comfortable, a finer finish is implemented. The finish is also applied to ensure the artificial eye remains visually appealing and functional over time. 

Who is eligible to use an artificial eye?

A custom-made artificial eye is an option for people who have permanently lost one eye. It is also meant for those who do not have a fully developed eye from birth. This product is designed for both adults and children. After availing of it, you can expect a proper cosmetic restoration, comfort, and usability.

Root causes of eye loss: 

Road accidents 

People might lose an eye due to severe road accidents. In this case, a prosthetic eye becomes a boon. Your face might not look any better after losing an eye. However, with this eye, you might not regain vision, but your facial appearance will change.  

Traumatic cause 

Even a traumatic cause can be a soul cause for eye loss. After a traumatic event, a prosthetic eye becomes a lifeline for regaining facial symmetry. Additionally, it supports the shape of the eye socket. 

Serious eye infections

Certain eye infections can lead to serious complications. They can even cause total eye damage if the infections are left untreated or the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. The worst cases of eye infections, corneal infections, can damage the internal structures of the eye. In cases like this, enucleation of the infected eye may be the only life-saving measure. An artificial eye provides a safe solution and improves the facial appearance.

Eye tumours

Tumours in the eye, whether benign or malignant, enable doctors to remove an eye. It is a compulsory step and is performed to save the life of a patient. Thus, eye removal becomes a medical necessity, not a cosmetic choice. It supports emotional recovery and allows the patient to regain normalcy.

Congenital absence of the eye

A few individuals have been blind since childhood. This state is known as congenital absence of the eye. It occurs when the eye socket is poorly developed. To maintain the shape of the socket, an artificial eye plays a pivotal role.

Surgical eye removal 

Various situations enable the eye to be removed surgically. However, there are no external damages to the eye. It can happen due to a painful blind eye. Anyhow, the artificial eye makes the look more natural.

Suitable for: 

• Cosmetic restoration for adults
• Children who need to structure their faces to support facial development 
• Patients who want to opt for a more comfortable alternative

Our artificial eyes are manufactured according to the patient’s needs and requirements. We never compromise on suitability across every age group.

Benefits of using our artificial eye

Our artificial eye stands out for its benefits. This is why people rely on us. A perfectly designed artificial eye is emotionally meaningful to individuals who have lost an eye. With our cosmetic restoration solutions, these are a few benefits that you will receive after using our eye:

Regains the natural facial appearance

There is no doubt that the artificial eye helps in regaining a natural facial appearance. Once the eye is gone, the hollow socket can make the face look asymmetric, and the eyelids sunken. The face looks uneven. This change in appearance can be quite upsetting for many patients. Besides, the artificial eye fills the empty space inside the socket, supporting the eyelids and the facial muscles around the eye. It is meticulously crafted to have the same colour, size, and shape. 

Improves self-confidence

An eye loss is one of the most traumatic events. It can impact a person's confidence. At times, people lose the normal feeling of being among others and even avoid eye contact or stop participating in public or professional activities. A better quality artificial eye with a natural look is a real support for individuals who have been through such a loss, as it restores their confidence and gives them the freedom to act in public without worrying about their appearance.

Improves emotional well-being

The psychological effects of losing an eye can be profound. Many patients have been known to suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, and withdrawal from society. It follows the loss of an eye due to injury, disease, or surgery. The artificial eye assists patients in overcoming their psychological trauma by regaining a sense of normalcy. 

Maintains the shape of the eye socket 

An artificial eye is essential to protect the eye socket. A naked socket is susceptible to shrinking slowly, thus resulting in a distorted face, sagging eyelids, and incorrect tear drainage. This situation, which is called socket contraction, throws future fittings in jeopardy. When an artificial eye is worn, the socket keeps its original shape and size. In addition, a prosthetic eye aids the normal functioning of the eyelids.

Provides a tailor-made and relaxed fit

Artificial eyes are created using strong and medical-grade components that are expected to last for a long time. Proper usage and regular maintenance may allow someone to continue using the eyes for years. Hence, it is a dependable and long-term solution when compared to the temporary ones.

Solution for being a long-lasting cosmetic 

Artificial eyes greatly help the quality of life through not only appearance restoration but also comfort and confidence. People who have had eye disfigurement have shared that they face certain problems in their personal and professional lives. This broad benefit is one of the reasons why a custom artificial eye is a vital component of rehabilitation after one loses an eye. 

When it comes to instilling confidence in a personal and professional atmosphere, our artificial eye stands out.

Artificial eye for children

Cost of the artificial eye

The cost of the prosthetic eye varies. It is because the products are individually designed and manufactured according to the patient’s requirements. Mentioned below are a few factors that affect the cost of the artificial eye: 

Difficulty of the eye socket shape

Every eye socket is different. People who lost an eye due to trauma, numerous surgeries, an infection, or cancer may incur delicate socket anatomy. Sometimes, to ensure comfort and stability, one has to make additional design considerations.

Pediatric requirement

The reason pediatric artificial eyes are quite different is that the child's face and eye socket are still growing. For a child, the artificial eye may have to be changed from time to time. The requirement for future replacement and growth, related changes, greatly impact the total price structure for the pediatric case.

Detail and material involved

For a realistic artificial eye, a great deal of artistic detail is required. This includes iris color matching, light reflection, vein detail, and surface finish. A high degree of naturalism is a time-consuming process. It is also a factor that affects the cost of an artificial eye.

To enhance your comfort and appearance, a prosthetic eye is used. It is a smarter and one-time investment. Costing reflects the accuracy, craftsmanship, tailor-made design, and quality used in designing.
