When was the last time you had your prosthesis polished? Polishing removes scratches, pits and calcium deposits. It will look better and feel better. It also gives us an opportunity to evaluate the fit. It should be polished every six months, just like your teeth!

Hey, I forgot to tell you about this article from the Calgary Herald that was written about us! Check it out.

Crafting prosthetic eyes is a rare art with a rich history, but advances in medical science mean the future of ocularists is anything but clear.

Last week, Leif attended an "Ocularist Master Class" in Seatlle, Washington. It was attended by five other master ocularists for the purpose of sharing knowledge and experience in a clinical setting to arrive at the healthiest and best possible results for those in need of an artificial eye or scleral shell. It was an intense couple of days, and much was learned by all who attended.

Did you know that doctors don't always know what is best for a prosthesis? Make sure they don't use alcohol-based hand sanitizer before handling your prosthesis. This can cause crazing.

Did you know that alcohol can ruin an ocular prosthesis? If you wear makeup, be sure to check the labels on your makeup remover for any kind of alcohol, which can cause crazing.

Remember to clean your prosthesis every 2 to 4 weeks! Using freshly washed hands, remove the prosthesis and place it in a small, clean container. Pour a solution of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide over the prosthesis and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes (absolute maximum 30 minutes). This will disinfect the prosthesis. Rinse the prosthesis thoroughly with a saline solution or total care product before re-inserting.
