Prosthetic Eye: A Custom Replacement After Eye Removal

A prosthetic eye is an artificial eye designed to replace a natural eye that has been surgically removed. Created to match the appearance of a healthy eye, it fits securely within the eye socket, restoring facial symmetry and providing structural support.

Who Might Need a Prosthetic Eye?
This type of prosthesis is usually recommended after enucleation—a surgical procedure where the entire eye is removed while preserving the surrounding muscles and eyelids. Common reasons for enucleation include severe trauma, eye cancer, or irreversible damage from disease.
