An ocular prosthesis, also known as a customized artificial eye, is a medical and aesthetic solution widely applied for individuals who have lost or are missing one eye. It is not merely a cosmetic device but also plays an important role in protecting the orbital cavity’s health and improving quality of life.
An ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) is a thin, curved shell designed to replicate the shape and color of a natural eye. It does not restore vision but serves aesthetic and protective purposes. The structure includes two main parts: the white outer shell (white scleral imitation with delicate blood vessels) and the central part (replicating the iris and pupil).
There are two main types of ocular prostheses on the market: prefabricated and custom-made.
Custom ocular prostheses are ideal for a wide range of ocular defects, including:
In summary, a custom ocular prosthesis is suitable for individuals who have (or are about to) undergo enucleation, already have an orbital implant in place, or are currently wearing a prefabricated prosthesis but are unsatisfied with its aesthetics or comfort.
At Vietnam Ocular Prosthesis Center, custom ocular prostheses are made from heat-cured acrylic (PMMA), a specialized medical-grade polymer with superior properties:
From the polished acrylic surfaces to the finely handcrafted iris, every detail of a custom ocular prosthesis combines precise anatomical replication and perfect symmetry with the natural eye, while maintaining meticulous artistic craftsmanship.
At Vietnam Ocular Prosthesis Center, every prosthesis is a unique work of art, crafted through a combination of advanced technology and skilled craftsmanship.
Step 1 – Clinical Examination and Assessment: A detailed evaluation of the orbital socket and soft tissues is conducted by our experts, considering patient expectations and medical conditions.
Step 2 – Precise Impression Taking: A crucial step to ensure accurate fit, minimize friction, and maximize comfort.
Step 3 – Personalized 3D Fabrication: Using 3D technology and meticulous handcrafting to reproduce every detail: iris color, pupil depth, iris striations, and microvascular patterns.
Step 4 – Fitting and Adjustment: The prosthesis is repeatedly tested and refined until the optimal comfort and aesthetics are achieved.
Step 5 – Care Guidance: After completion, patients receive comprehensive instructions for cleaning, handling, and maintaining their prosthesis to ensure durability and appearance.
In the field of ophthalmology and aesthetic prosthetics, finding the optimal ocular restoration solution has always been a medical and psychological challenge. An ocular prosthesis is not merely a replacement product but a key that opens the door to confidence and social reintegration. Vietnam Ocular Prosthesis Center proudly offers four main product lines, meticulously researched and crafted to meet individual clinical and aesthetic needs. At the Center, each product embodies dedication, precision, and empathy.
The standard 3D ocular prosthesis is the foundation of restorative solutions at the Vietnam Ocular Prosthesis Center. This product line is designed to provide essential reconstruction while ensuring the highest level of aesthetics and comfort. It is the ideal choice for cases of basic enucleation, helping restore the orbital contour and achieve a balanced, natural appearance.
