What is an artificial eye?
The eyeball is not only a visual organ, but also an important part of appearance. Patients who have lost their eyeballs are eager to "implant their eyeballs" again to restore their vision and appearance. Because contemporary biomedical engineering technology and medical technology can't solve the problems of eyeball transplantation and vision reconstruction, people use artificial eyes to make up for the loss of eyeballs and improve their appearance. After enucleation due to eye disability, the eye socket is obviously sunken due to the lack of eyeball filling in the orbit, which will affect the normal physiological function of the orbit during the growth and development of children, lead to facial deformity, and bring immeasurable losses to their future growth, marriage, work and life. At present, the only way to solve this problem is to install and wear artificial eyes (artificial eyes) similar to healthy eyes.

Some people's eyeballs are damaged or shrunk due to illness or trauma, and some patients are not only blind, but also suffer from severe eye pain. Therefore, wearing an artificial eye can make the patient's appearance look the same as that of a normal person, and can also improve the eyes that are painful due to pathological changes.

Artificial eye mask is a kind of artificial eye mask, which is installed to improve the appearance of blindness caused by congenital or acquired reasons. Patients with congenital microphthalmia, corneal leukoplakia and eyeball atrophy can directly install artificial eyes without removing their eyeballs. Under the condition of no inflammation, pain and other symptoms, the artificial eyes can be directly installed without removing their eyeballs. The installed artificial eyes are highly flexible, realistic and beautiful, and the effect is better.

According to the condition of eyes, some patients need to remove their eyeballs and then implant movable orbital implants. After 2~3 months, some new blood vessels and hyperplastic tissues will grow into its pores and gradually become a part of the body and be accepted by the human body, so rejection rarely occurs. According to the patient's recovery, an artificial eye can be placed 1-2 months after operation. In this way, the artificial eye after operation can rotate synchronously and flexibly with the real eye, and the appearance is full and beautiful, and it is not easy to distinguish the true from the false at close range.

Eye implants need to be customized according to the size, color and depth of individual eyeballs, which can make the appearance more realistic.
