Pacific Artificial Eyes of Hawaii M
 
     


About Our Practice
This is a second generation ocularist practice that has been providing ocular prosthetic services to the Pacific Rim from Honolulu, Hawaii since 1958. Our ocular prostheses are custom made with a handcrafted fitting process that results in a unique, one of a kind ocular prosthesis artificial eye.

We have extensive experience in working with the Bio-Hydroxyapatite Integrated Orbital Impalant as well as the Medpor Ocular Implant. Both of these implants, which are placed in the socket after removal of an eye, are the state of the art in ocular implants. Once placed in the orbit, these implants allow for the direct attachment of the extraocular muscles to the implant itself. Accordingly, with this procedure combined with these types of implants, one can expect a more natural moving and lifelike ocular prosthesis.

In addition to traditional ocular prostheses, we also design and fabricate scleral cover shells. This type of prosthetic eye is fit over an existing living eye that is blind or otherwise disfigured.

We also have extensive experience in fitting pediatric patients and socket expansion therapy.

Recognizing the trauma, both physical and emotional, associated with the loss of an eye, we are committed to minimizing this uncomfortable experience. We will do everything with in our power to help our patient's return to a normal life. Please call us with any questions you might have.
