1. Ocular Prosthesis

An ocular prosthesis or artificial eye is a type of craniofacial prosthesis that replaces an absent natural eye following birth-related deformities and other causes such as accidents, infections, etc. Often referred to as a glass eye, the ocular prosthesis roughly takes the shape of a convex shell and is made of medical-grade plastic acrylic. A variant of the ocular prosthesis is a very thin hard shell known as a scleral shell which can be worn over a damaged or eviscerated eye. An ocular prosthesis does not provide vision. Someone with an ocular prosthesis is totally blind on the affected side and has monocular (one-sided) vision.

2. Ear Prosthesis

Congenital or Traumatic loss of the ear and unsatisfactory surgical reconstruction are often followed by the implant-retained auricular prosthesis as the definitive treatment. The final Maxillofacial surgery,  restoration completes the individual’s quest for symmetry, anonymity, and a sense of serenity that comes with having a stable and normal-looking ear. Naturalism is accomplished by selective surface treatment: leaving a sheen on select cartilaginous areas and a matte finish on adjacent helix and lobe to simulate tissue much softer perhaps covered with fine vellus hair. All implant retention systems are available including the bar-clip attachment of ear prostheses. Many factors are important; from bone and soft tissue quality to lifestyle to individual personality, and we are privileged to team with surgical and prosthodontic specialists and you to package a prosthetic restoration that is uniquely suited to you.
