This site has been established by ocularists Chantal Kritzinger & Gavin Downward. Our aim is to provide relevant information and support for people who have or will need an artificial eye. We have offices in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth in South Africa.
What is an ocularist?
An ocularist is someone who specializes in the fabrication and fitting of ocular prostheses for people who have lost an eye or eyes due to trauma or illness. The fabrication process for a custom made eye typically includes taking an impression of the eye socket, shaping a plastic shell, painting the iris and then fitting the ocular prostheses. In addition to creating the prosthetic eye, we show the patient how to care for and handle the prosthesis.
