Losing an eye to injury, infection or a tumour is one of the hardest things a person faces. A well-made artificial eye (ocular prosthesis), fitted after careful surgery, can match the other eye so closely that most people may never notice.
Dr Sumer Doctor takes care of the entire journey from surgical management of the damaged eye to placement of a well sized implant. And fitting of a custom made artificial eye.
When Does The Eye Require Surgical Removal?
Severe injury – trauma that cannot be repaired
A painful blind eye – an eye that has lost all vision and become a source of chronic pain
Serious infection that threatens the eye socket
Intraocular tumours such as retinoblastoma in children or melanoma in adults, where removal can be life-saving
After years of constant pain this gentleman chose to treat the problem. After eye removal surgery a well-tolerated implant was placed, and weeks later a custom prosthesis was fitted. He was freed from pain and walked out with a natural-looking eye and his confidence restored.
A single accident can change everything in a moment. In this young girl an eye damaged beyond repair, it was carefully removed and an implant was placed. Once healing was complete, a prosthesis was crafted to match the other eye – the same colour, the same detail. It is nearly impossible to tell which eye is which.
This man had a poor outcome of artificial eye surgery done elsewhere. After putting his faith in us for a revision surgery, we managed to place a second orbital implant for him. We recreated a custom prosthesis for him which now fits perfectly.
Facing the loss of an eye is frightening, and the fear of looking different afterwards is real. The purpose of this work is to give you back not just a natural appearance, but the confidence to get on with your life. Begin a conversation by Whatsapping +919391521982 to know more.
The operation is done under anaesthesia and you feel nothing during it. Afterwards there is some pain and swelling for a few days, managed with simple medication.
Usually about 4–6 weeks after surgery, once the socket has healed. A temporary shell is often worn in the meantime.
Most prostheses need only occasional removal for cleaning; a polish by the ocularist keeps it looking fresh.
Between 8-10 years if cared for and polished regularly.
