Step by Step
Your Journey With Us
We believe there should be no surprises. Here is exactly what to expect from your first call all the way to your final fitting and beyond.
Your First Call
Everything starts with a simple phone call. Tell us about your situation and we will walk you through your options, answer your questions, and schedule your first consultation at a time that works for you.
Initial Consultation
We meet face to face, review your medical history, and evaluate your eye socket. This is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation. We want to understand your goals and make sure you feel completely comfortable before anything begins.
Socket Evaluation & Measurements
We carefully evaluate your eye socket and eyelids to gather the precise measurements needed to fabricate your custom prosthetic. Every socket is unique — your prosthetic will be too.
Fabrication
Using medical-grade materials, we handcraft your prosthetic from scratch. This is where science meets artistry — every detail is shaped and refined to match your companion eye as closely as possible.
Hand Painting & Finishing
Your ocularist hand paints the iris, scleral tone, and subtle natural markings to create a prosthetic that looks strikingly natural. This step requires exceptional skill and attention to detail.
Fitting & Adjustments
We fit the prosthetic and make any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect comfort and stability. Multiple fittings over several weeks may be needed — we do not rush this process.
Ongoing Follow-Up
Your care does not stop when you leave our office. We recommend a professional cleaning and polish every 6 months and are always available for adjustments, concerns, or questions between visits.
