Here at Southeastern Ocularists, Inc. we regularly use the modified impression fitting method when creating your prosthesis. Although, depending on certain factors, we may choose a different approach to obtain an adequate fit for your eye socket.
Ocularistry is a specialized field that mixes the realms of art and anatomy. It requires a very fine attention to detail, manual dexterity and patience to achieve the best result possible for a recipient of a prosthetic eye.
Eye discomfort can occur for a number of reasons when you are living with a prosthetic eye. Individuals who experience a comfortable fit in the beginning stages of wearing their artificial eye can experience discomfort after a period of time.
