Orbital prosthesis:
The silicone eye prosthesis is designed to restore lost tissue of the
orbital area,including eye,eyelids and associated tissue.The eyeball is
custom fabricated to match size, colour and appearance of the opposing
eye as closely as possible.The prosthesis is carved to provide a realistic
match and to appear as natural as possible to the constantly changing
natural eye.
Eyelashes and eyebrows are added to increase the natural appearance.
Spectacles are also provided with a graduated tint to allow for any slight
colour imbalance that may arise due to the constantly changing natural
skin tones.
