Ocular Prosthesis

A visual prosthesis, counterfeit eye or glass eye is a kind of craniofacial prosthesis that replaces a missing regular eye following an enucleation, destruction, or orbital exenteration. The prosthesis fits over an orbital embed and under the eyelids. Despite the fact that frequently alluded to as a glass eye, the visual prosthesis generally takes the state of an arched shell and is made of clinical evaluation plastic acrylic. A couple of visual prostheses today are made of cryolite glass. A variation of the visual prosthesis is a dainty hard shell known as a scleral shell which can be worn over a harmed or destroyed eye. Creators of visual prosthetics are known as ocularists. A visual prosthesis doesn't give vision; this would be a visual prosthesis. Somebody with a visual prosthesis is out and out visually impaired on the influenced side and has monocular (uneven) vision.
