Do I need a referral to see an ocularist?

In many cases, a referral is not required, but some insurance plans may request one. It's best to check with your provider beforehand.

 

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit will include an evaluation, discussion of your needs, and an explanation of the process. We'll answer your questions and create a personalized treatment plan.

 

How long does it take to get a prosthetic eye?

The process usually takes a few appointments over the course of 1-2 weeks. This allows time for fitting, shaping, and detailed customization.

 

Is the fitting process painful?

No. The fitting process is generally painless. Some patients may feel mild discomfort initially, but this typically resolves quickly as you adjust to the prosthesis.

 

Will my prosthetic eye look natural?

Yes. Each prosthesis is custom-made and hand-painted to match your natural eye color, shape, and details. Most people can't tell the difference.

​

How often should I visit the ocularist?

It is recommended to have a professional cleaning and polishing every 6 months. Regular visits help maintain comfort, appearance, and overall health of the socket tissue.
