FAQs
Is the fitting of the ocular prosthesis painful?
Fitting an ocular prosthesis is painless and not an invasive procedure.
How long does the production take?
It takes about 1 hour to make. A little more time may be required for the initial fabrication and fitting of children.
How and where will my ocular prosthesis be manufactured?
Your eye prosthesis will be made by one of our ocularists in Wiesbaden or one of our numerous travel cities. This is done in your presence to ensure the best possible fit.
What do I need to bring to my appointment?
We require a prescription for the fabrication of a prosthesis. Patients covered by health insurance also require 10 euros or an exemption card to cover their own contribution.
What material is the ocular prosthesis made of?
Our institute manufactures ocular prostheses exclusively from special glass. This is so-called cryolite glass.
What do I need to consider in everyday life?
The ocular prosthesis does not restrict you in everyday life, but protects the eye socket from external influences.
