If you are about to have an enucleation (removal of your eye) or have recently had an enucleation, a new standard of care is available to you with the Natural-Iris Conformer.
Normally, when an enucleation is performed a clear plastic conformer is placed in the socket by the surgeon at the time of surgery to maintain the integrity of the socket. It usually takes 6-8 weeks after the surgery before the socket is healed enough to begin the fitting of the custom ocular prosthesis. The emotional and psychological benefits to the patient are tremendous with the Natural-Iris Conformer. Only someone who has experienced the loss of an eye can truly appreciate the trauma of that experience. Instead of a clear plastic conformer the new standard of care is an iris conformer. It is a conformer that has an iris, the colored part of the eye, and the sclera, the white part of the eye. The Natural-Iris Conformer provides for a more natural appearance after the removal of the eye. These iris conformers are available in 6 different colors and 3 sizes.
