The limbus is the border area between the sclera (white part of the eye) and the iris (colored part of the eye). A soft limbus on a prosthesis is essential for creating a lifelike appearance, seamlessly blending the iris and the sclera.

Happy Friday! Each eye is wonderfully unique, like this light brown iris with a subtle pale blue Arcus. Nature's palette never fails to inspire us!

Adjustment time for the lovely Lucy. It had been almost 2 years since we last saw Lucy (because of covid restrictions). When we do an adjustment, we add size to the prosthesis in clear acrylic. What a difference!

There are around 40 different steps to make a custom prosthetic eye. Here is the second stage of painting, referred to as enhancement painting. At this stage, we paint all of the finer details on the iris and stain the sclera, and then we delicately place silk threads as capillaries. After sealing it all with monopoly varnish, it is ready for its final layer of clear acrylic 👁🧡✨️

Arcus senilis is a white, grey, or blue arc or ring that develops around the edge of the cornea. It can be a challenge to paint (and photograph!), but we were all super happy with this result.

Eyes for All

Hello!

We are Francesca and Nelly. It is our mission to make custom artificial eyes more accessible to people in need. We need your support to help people get back into their community, work and life by providing them with an artificial eye.

In particular, we wish to empower and return autonomy to people in developing countries who have lost their eyes. In many places, especially those with inadequate healthcare, social stigma and superstition cause people with disabilities to live with extreme ostracization and shame. We have even heard of cases where women have been mutilated by men in power so that they will no longer be an acceptable ‘wife’ and therefore no longer fit into society.

Ocularistry is a very niche profession on the cusp of the optical industry. It describes someone who hand-makes prosthetic eyes for people who have lost theirs due to disease or trauma. Artificial eyes are made completely by hand out of the same material as false teeth. It is a complex and fastidious process steeped in tradition. It involves many steps of casting, fitting, adjusting and hand painting colours and details to match the patient’s fellow eye as seamlessly as possible. It typically takes 2-3 days to make one eye.
