Our Services
- Premade Ocular Prosthetic Shells (Stock shells):
These are readymade prosthetic shell that made up of hard, plastic acrylic material. This comes in a range of colours and sizes with right and left standard shape.
- Iris Painted Scleral shells:
Black or brown coloured iris is drawn in a plan transparent thin shell is called iris painted scleral shell. This is made of PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate) material. The shell is having a thickness of less than 1.5mm mostly used in expanded fornices volume “conditions like Phthisis bulbi and large implant insertion in socket
- Ocular Conformer Therapy
Ocular conformer therapy is a general term used to describe the fitting of clear plastic stents over time to develop the eye socket for optimal prosthetic eye results. This fitting method is particularly effective in treating children with anophthalmia or microphthalmia and adults with mild to severe socket contraction. In both cases the conformers are designed to help expand the orbit and opening of the eyelids
- Customized Ocular Prosthetic Shells:
Customised ocular prosthetic is made by PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate) a skin friendly material. These are moulded and coloured for individual patients. This improves the comfortability and aesthetically pleasing look with optimum motility.
Additional Services
- Ptosis Ocular Prosthetic Shells (Crutch Shell):
Drooping eyelids, known as ptosis. While in some cases may exhibit more pronounced drooping of upper eyelid, additional support such as an extra horizontal or diagonal ridge in the shell can be added to stabilise the upper eyelid or provide supplementary support on the superior part of the shell.
- Holo Ocular Prosthetic Shells:
In cases where the orbit volume is extensive, it may occur due to either the absence of an implant in the socket or an insumciently sized implant, resulting in an increased volume of the socket. Consequently, the shell size would need to be larger, resulting in a higher weight of the shell. This increased weight exerts gravitational pull within the orbit, causing a misalignment of the eyes. To mitigate this issue, we aim to maximise the size of the shell while minimising its weight by incorporating a holo inside the shell.
- Custom Made Scleral Shells:
A shell with a thickness mostly less than 1.5mm is termed a scleral shell. Based on the socket size, measurements are taken and to match the eye colour precisely to that of a normal eye. These customised scleral shells are known as custom-made scleral shells.
