Surgical Conformers

Conformers

Initially, a temporary prosthetic conformer made of clear plastic is put in place over the orbital implant post-surgery.  This conformer maintains the tissue space behind the eyelids where the prosthetic eye will eventually sit.  In approximately 6-8 weeks, the conformer is removed and a custom made artificial eye (prosthesis) is made for the socket.  Your physician should be able to provide you with this post-surgery.

Pre-Surgical Centering Conformers can be used to help the surgeons place your orbital implant and motility peg correctly, if you are receiving a motility peg.  This service is available upon request and can be set up between us and your physician.

If you have misplaced your clear post-surgical conformer, our staff here at Southeastern Ocularists can help fit you with a new one.
