Our Mission

The Best Prosthetic Eye We at Yamout Eye Prosthetics strive to provide you with the best prosthesis available in Lebanon. We take great care in properly fitting the prosthesis and hand painting it to match its companion. We can fabricate a prosthesis to fit comfortably over an existing blind eye (a corneal scleral shell) and provide other prostheses such as custom conformers for those too young to be fitted with their first artificial eye.

A well-made the iris eye will last, on average 3 years. For most patients this is true. For some people, it will last even longer and for some, it lasts less. Children, for instance, go through dramatic growth changes and we have to catch up with those changes. Other patients need additional surgery that changes the shape of their socket. While at times we can accommodate for the change with a refit, other times the change is so drastic, a new prosthetic eye will yield the best result in Comfort and Cosmesis.

Our Mission Our company is founded on a simple mission to help individuals throughout the Middle East have lost an eye to regaining their sense of confidence and dignity. It’s something we’ve been proud to do for nearly 40 years now. That’s why we develop a specialized treatment plan for each patient and strive to create the most life-like, aesthetically pleasing prosthesis possible.

There are a lot of intermediate steps in-between taking a photo and incorporating that photo into a prosthetic eye. It has been tried, and largely abandoned at this moment in time chiefly down to the problem of colour accuracy and consistency.

Have you ever printed out photos from your PC? How often does the colour of the print not match what you see on the screen? Painting an artificial eye by hand is the ultimate example of WYSIWYG technology in action (What You See Is What You Get).

On the other point of permanence, we all know that ink fades, but at what rate? Artist paints have a demonstrated track record of longevity proven over 70 years of artificial eye manufacture.

The colouring of the prosthetic eye is done with the greatest of care to match the companion eye in the current appearance of the living tissue The patient must be present for this part of the procedure.
