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. |
