WHAT IS AN OCULARIST?
An ocularist is a paramedical professional who is generally certified by the National Examining Board of Ocularists and specializes in manufacturing ocular prostheses, more commonly called artificial eyes.
The ocularist handles every stage of creating a prosthesis, including taking an impression and eye measurements, painting the iris and pupil, polishing, and fitting. An ocularist can also advise you on adapting to a loss of depth perception and maintaining the prosthesis.
Marie-France Clermont, the owner, has more than 30 years of experience in the field. Often recommended by physicians, she has a strong reputation in the field of enucleation and ocular prostheses.

OUR SERVICES
Oculariste Marie-France Clermont offers a comprehensive range of services. Our professionals take a compassionate and personalized approach while applying their know-how to provide durable ocular prostheses.
Enucleation: Do you have an eye tumour and need to undergo surgical removal of the eye? From preoperative preparation through postoperative follow-up, a team of professional ocularists and qualified surgeons can support you through the different stages of an enucleation procedure in Montreal and Ottawa. This care also helps patients better understand the follow-up related to their prosthesis. For more information or to plan a consultation, reach out to the clinic.
Artificial Eye: At Oculariste Marie-France Clermont, support focuses on the comfort, appearance, and fit of each ocular prosthesis. In Montreal and Ottawa, our ocularists draw on their experience and know-how and use suitable materials in the design and manufacture of an artificial eye tailored to the patient. Depending on the situation, the prosthesis may also be paired with a mobility system or a bio-integrated implant.
Polishing and Maintenance: A well-maintained ocular prosthesis helps preserve comfort, appearance, and longevity. At Oculariste Marie-France Clermont, we offer polishing and maintenance services to preserve the appearance and proper function of your artificial eye. Using suitable equipment and our team’s expertise, we reduce micro-scratches, help restore shine, and pay close attention to the condition of surrounding tissues. Regular follow-ups also make it possible to observe potential signs of premature wear and adjust care accordingly. This service contributes to maintaining the prosthesis’s comfort, appearance, and fit over time.
Adjustment and Enlargement: Over time or depending on age, particularly for children, a prosthesis may become uncomfortable or visually unsuitable. We therefore offer personalized adjustment and enlargement services. Our team carefully evaluates the patient’s anatomy to adapt the prosthesis’s size, shape, and fit, so it blends harmoniously with the face. This follow-up can be especially important after surgery, facial growth, or an anatomical change. Through this proactive care, the team aims to support patient comfort and a natural appearance over time.
