Artificial Eye (Ocular Prosthesis)
Consultation Guide
At Yamout Optical Center, an artificial eye is far more than a cosmetic solution—it is a refined medical, functional, and artistic rehabilitation experience, tailored with precision, discretion, and uncompromising attention to detail. Each patient is treated with the highest standards of professionalism, privacy, and personalized care, reflecting our commitment to excellence. This consultation guide explains what to expect, how we work, and how we ensure comfort, safety, and natural appearance.
Our Philosophy of Care
At Yamout Optical Center, our philosophy of care is founded on precision, artistry, and dignity. We understand that the loss of an eye is not only a physical change, but an emotional and deeply personal experience.
Every artificial eye we create is approached as a medical restoration and an artistic endeavor. We prioritize:
- Absolute respect for patient privacy and emotional comfort
- Meticulous medical standards and hygiene
- Individualized design—never prefabricated solutions
- Natural harmony with the face, not merely cosmetic replacement
Our goal is to restore confidence quietly and elegantly, allowing our patients to move forward without drawing attention to their prosthesis.
What Is an Artificial Eye?
An artificial eye, also known as an ocular prosthesis, is a custom-made medical device designed to restore the natural appearance of an eye after surgical removal or loss of vision due to trauma, disease, or congenital conditions.
Each prosthesis is individually crafted to match:
- Eye color and iris pattern
- Size and shape of the eye socket
- Eyelid position and facial symmetry
- Skin tone and scleral (white of the eye) details
Who Needs an Artificial Eye?
An ocular prosthesis may be recommended after:
- Enucleation (complete removal of the eye)
- Evisceration (removal of eye contents, sclera preserved)
- Severe trauma or infection
- Congenital absence or deformity of the eye
Your ophthalmologist will confirm when the eye socket is ready for prosthetic fitting.

The Consultation Experience at Yamout Optical Center
Our consultation process is designed to be calm, private, and unhurried. Every step is performed with sensitivity, clinical precision, and artistic judgment to ensure the highest level of comfort and confidence.
Medical Evaluation
- Review of medical and surgical history
- Examination of the eye socket and eyelids
- Assessment of socket health, volume, and mobility
Impression & Measurement
- A precise impression of the eye socket is taken to ensure maximum comfort and stability
- This step allows the prosthesis to move naturally with the surrounding tissues
Custom Design & Fabrication
- The artificial eye is handcrafted and painted to match your natural eye
- Iris color, blood vessels, and scleral tone are carefully reproduced
- Shape and thickness are customized for eyelid support and symmetry
Fitting, Aesthetic Refinement & Alignment
- The prosthesis is carefully fitted to ensure comfort and eyelid harmony
- Gaze alignment is refined under natural viewing conditions to achieve balance and realism
- Subtle artistic adjustments are made to enhance symmetry, depth, and facial expression
Each fitting session prioritizes natural appearance at conversational and social distances, with refinements guided by both medical expertise and artistic vision.
Expected Movement, Expression & Visual Harmony
- Movement depends on the type of surgery and orbital implant
- While the artificial eye does not restore vision, it is designed to:
- Move naturally with facial expressions
- Maintain eyelid position
- Prevent socket shrinkage and facial asymmetry
Our goal is a natural, confident, and discreet appearance—one that allows you to interact socially without drawing attention to the prosthesis, supporting both self-assurance and emotional well-being.
Comfort, Long-Term Care & Preservation
Daily Care
Use recommended lubricating drops or gels to maintain comfort. Follow hygiene instructions provided during your visit.

With proper care, an artificial eye typically lasts 5 years or more, depending on medical changes.

Spoken Consultation Script (For Doctors & Staff)
“At Yamout Optical Center, our role is to restore balance, comfort, and natural appearance following eye loss. Today’s consultation is unhurried and private. We will carefully examine the eye socket, discuss your medical history, and explain each step of the prosthetic process in detail.
We create fully custom artificial eyes using precise impressions of the socket. This allows us to achieve maximum comfort, stability, and natural movement. Every prosthesis is handcrafted and painted to match your natural eye in color, depth, and expression.
Our goal is not perfection under a microscope, but natural harmony in real life—how the eye looks when you speak, smile, and interact with others. We will adjust the alignment carefully and welcome your feedback throughout the process.
You are encouraged to ask any questions at any time. Your comfort, confidence, and peace of mind are central to our care.”
