Who do we serve?
Anyone who is without sight in one or both eyes is eligible for a prosthetic eye.

What is a prosthetic eye?
A prosthetic eye is a meniscus shaped lens that is custom painted and molded to imitate the appearance of an individual’s own natural eye. It does not restore the ability to see, but it does allow the wearer to make eye contact more easily with others in everyday communication.
Did You Know??
The word meniscus comes from the Greek word for "crescent moon," and describes any lens shape that is convex on one side and concave on the other.
Many people are surprised to find out that prosthetic eyes are meniscus-shaped rather than spherical.
The reason for this is that a prosthetic eye is worn over either a sightless eye or a spherical implant.
