About Us – Tradition and Expertise in Ocular Prosthetics

A family-owned business since 1860
F.Ad. Müller Söhne is a sixth-generation family-owned business specializing in the manufacture and customization of glass ocular prostheses. Founded in 1860 in Lauscha, Thuringia, our history began in Wiesbaden in 1872. It was the renowned ophthalmologist Professor Dr. Alexander Pagenstecher who brought us to the city. As the founder of the Wiesbaden Eye Hospital and a pioneer of modern surgical methods, he sought the best possible care for his patients—and found in us the right partner to bring medicine and the craft of ocular prosthetics together.

Experience That Ensures Quality
Our ocular prostheses are custom-fitted, either at our institute in Wiesbaden or on-site in one of the cities that our ocularists visit regularly. Office hours are published each year in the travel schedule and are available only by prior appointment. The fitting is not a surgical procedure: During a visit lasting about two hours, our specialists craft an artificial eye that looks as much like the natural eye as possible.

Traditional Craftsmanship
As early as 1910, the sons of our company’s founder described techniques in the book *Das künstliche Auge* that remain the foundation of our work to this day. The glass materials used to make our prostheses continue to come from Lauscha, the birthplace of our glass production.

Our ocularists are on the road for you
Our specialists (ocularists) visit over 50 cities in 7 European countries to fit ocular prostheses on-site. This allows us to ensure that every patient receives personalized and professional care.
