An impression of the socket is taken with an
alginate material to provide the posterior (back)
dimensions of the prosthesis.
MODELING
A wax model is fabricated from the impression
and is sculpted to achieve the best symmetry with
lid opening and direction of the remaining eye,
PAINTING
The prosthesis is hand painted while observing
the patient's companion eye. This involves
matching the iris color, limbal blend, scleral
tinting, and veining.
POLISHING AND FITTING
The prosthesis is polished and fit, to determine if
any adjusting is necessary.
*ADDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS MAY BE
NECESSARY DUE TO INDIVIDUAL
DIFFERENCES IN EACH SOCKET.
* SEVERAL HOURS OF PROCESSING TIME
MUST BE ALLOWED BETWEEN EACH
APPOINTMENT FOR LABORATORY
PROCEDURES.
