A very thin scleral shell covers an existing disfigured left (picture’s right) eye.

The average thickness of this prosthesis is just over 0.5mm.

The shell is being trimmed in preparation for painting.

The thinnest portion of this scleral shell fits over the cornea, after trimming.

A galaxy design with glow in the dark stars

This bilateral patient specified a vibrant blue iris paired with lavender, with glitter within the pupil and dispersed throughout the iris.

The patient requested an eye with “galaxy paw print” and the ocularist was given creative freedom for this design.

The patient wanted a realistic iris paired with pitch black sclera.

The patient is shown here wearing the prosthesis.

The patient wanted a diamond to be set in place of a pupil, before painting.

An opaque black scleral shell was made to go with a costume.

The prosthetic ear is fitted over an existing microtia ear.

Due to the amount of movement surrounding this prosthesis, the margin was designed with increased surface area while being flexible to move with the skin.
