Customized Solutions for Cosmetic Eye Rehabilitation
Ocular prostheses are custom-made medical devices that restore the eye’s natural appearance, contributing to the user’s comfort, facial balance, and emotional well-being.
At Optocentro, we provide specialized fitting of ocular prostheses, with rigorous clinical monitoring and solutions tailored to the individual characteristics of each case.
The Evolution of Ocular Prostheses
The use of ocular prostheses dates back to ancient times, with historical records dating as far back as the 5th century B.C., when materials such as clay, metals, and even gold were used.
Today, prostheses are made from high-quality acrylic materials, which offer:
-
greater comfort;
-
better fit within the orbital cavity;
-
ease of cleaning and maintenance;
-
high durability;
-
natural, attractive finish.
Technological advances have made it possible to achieve a very high level of realism in both the color and texture of the iris and sclera.
How Does the Fitting of an Ocular Prosthesis Work?
Adaptation is a personalized process that includes:
1. Clinical Evaluation of the Orbital Cavity
Analysis of the anatomy, volume, and condition of the eye socket.
2. Selection of Shape and Thickness
Choose the most suitable model to ensure stability and comfort.
3. Color Customization
Careful adjustment of the iris shade and visual details to ensure a natural look.
4. Final Adjustments
Technical adjustments are made to ensure a precise fit and smooth movement.
Each prosthesis is designed to provide both aesthetic and functional balance.
