The procedure is essentially painless and includes instillation of Alginate paste in the eye socket under the impression tray to get the impression of eye socket.This impression is translated into a wax model and after due treatment, this wax model is tried in the patient's eye socket for fit. The wax model is marked for the location of iris painting and a PMMA trial model is made that is ready for painting and trial.

After completion of painting the trial model is fitted in the socket to assess the final outcome. Once the Ocularist and the patient are satisfied with the result, the final PMMA model is made and polished to remove all rough edges and surfaces. The final model is absolutely smooth and does not have any rough spots.

After dispensing the prosthesis the patients are educated for the care of the prosthesis as well as protection of the other normal eye.The entire procedure takes about 12 hours that is divided in two days and patient can walk out with a custom ocular prosthesis on the 2nd day of appointment.

In case the eye socket is inadequate for good prosthesis fit the options of surgical correction are discussed with the patients and a realistic expectation is explained to the patient based upon our previous experience and results. The surgeries are performed by Oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Raj Anand and thus patients get complete care for lost/disfigured eye under one roof.
