FACTORS THAT GUIDE PERSONALIZATION
Each prosthesis requires careful observation to achieve a result adapted to the patient’s anatomy, comfort needs, and desired appearance. Several factors can influence its design, fitting, and follow-up, particularly when the eye socket, surrounding tissues, or the patient’s needs change over time.
The assessment may consider:
-
the shape of the eye socket and the available space
-
the colour, details, and orientation of the remaining eye
-
comfort while wearing the prosthesis
-
the symmetry of the eyes and face
-
changes in the tissues following surgery or a period of growth
These observations help guide precise personalization and comfortable daily wear.
FITTING AND ENLARGING YOUR PROSTHESIS: ESSENTIAL FOLLOW-UP

Our services include resizing and reshaping, enlargement according to anatomical development, and a complete comfort assessment. This approach can help preserve a natural appearance and reduce discomfort associated with prolonged wear without follow-up.
