The eye prostheses are completely made of synthetic
resin (methyl polymetacrylate). The shape of the eye
cavity in which the prosthesis will be inserted is
obtained due to a three-dimensional impression, this
shape is reproduced with extreme precision and adapted
to each person.
Three-dimensional
impression
The three-dimensional impression is the result of
many years of research. It allows to get a very
precise and optimal product.
The impression respects completely the eye's
anatomy what ever the post-operatory situation may
be.
The three-dimensional impression gives the
superciliary arch its shape back, there will be no
deformations of the inferior eyelid,
nor wounds and the eyelids will be in good
condition.
This technique gives the possibility to make a
very light
prosthesis if necessary.
The three-dimensional impression can also be done
on the phtisical eyeball (when it lost his
original volume).
External view of the prosthesis.
Internal view of the prosthesis.
Use and care
The
synthetic prosthesis can be worn night and day.
The
synthetic prosthesis is unbreakable, it is not
influenced by the indoor-outdoor temperature changes
(cold/hot).
In
case of scratches or plasma deposits on the external
surface of the prosthesis; a simple polishment gives
the prosthesis a bright new surface.
To
clean the prosthesis, you only have to use cold water
and paper handkerchieves.
You
can do any kind of sport with a synthetic eye prosthesis which has been produced with Mr. G-M
Dubois technique, even snorkling, scuba diving or
plunging.
Realisation and adaptation
Three sessions are necessary for the realisation of a
sythetic eye prosthesis.
1st
session : three-dimensional impression, checking of
the colours
2nd
session: testing of the shape, centring and checking
of the colours
3rd
session: placing of the prosthesis and personal recommandations.
The colours of the iris and of the sclera (white
part of the eyeball) are not painted, but they are
directly integrated with different successive coats
of colorations in the synthetic resin. The natural
shade can be reproduced due to a large choice of 200
colors.
