When an eye has been damaged, eyesight has been lost and the eye's orb has begun shrinking to create an irregular cornea this is known as a Phthisical eye.
When an eye has been damaged, eyesight has been lost and the eye's orb has begun shrinking to create an irregular cornea this is known as a Phthisical eye.
The best way to address this condition is usually in the fitting of a scleral lens/shell over the Phthisical eye. We have seen great results using a scleral lens.
Fitting a scleral shell prosthesis involves a custom impression moulding process. This offers the best and most comfortable match.
A well-made scleral shell will give the wearer natural ease of movement, along with its natural appearance makes it a popular choice for our patients.
We manufacture custom-made, individually crafted and hand-painted ocular prosthetics as well as supplying and fitting a range of stock eyes.
