YES, THERE ARE GLASS EYES!<br />

Hello <strong>Ethnicities</strong> friends! This time I’ll share with your information about eye prosthesis<br />
and glass eyes.<br />
There are different reasons why a person may not have an eye or eyeball. Some of these<br />
include traffic or work accidents, cancer in any of the structures of the eyeball, or simply<br />
because they born with a very small eye (microphthalmos) or some other type of alteration.<br />
Ocular prostheses are artificial substitutes for the eyeball. Ideally these prostheses<br />
should be customized according to the specific shape of the cavity and the color of the<br />
patient’s remaining eye. There are also cases in which the patient needs prosthetics of<br />
both eyes.<br />
