Dogs need artificial eyes, usually because they have undergone eye surgery or eye diseases, which leads to the failure of normal use of the eyes and the need for surgical removal or blindness. At this time, the owner can choose to install artificial eyes to restore his appearance and self-confidence, and also to prevent the spread of diseases.

Installing an artificial eye can also keep the shape of the eye socket for dogs that have lost one eye, so as not to cause problems.

2. Types of artificial eyes

Artificial eyes are usually divided into plastic artificial eyes and glass artificial eyes. Plastic artificial eyes can be made according to the size of the dog's eyeball, and they look like real eyeballs. In addition, the plastic artificial eye is relatively cheap and the manufacturing process is relatively simple, which can more accurately conform to the shape of the dog's eye socket.

Glass eyeball is more realistic and can present more realistic eyeball effect, but the production cost is higher and more complicated technology is needed.

3, the process of installing the artificial eye

Installing artificial eyes requires professional veterinary skills and surgery. The usual surgical procedure is to take out the dog's real eyeball, then measure the dog's orbit, make a prosthetic eye with a suitable size, then put the prosthetic eye into the orbit and sew it up with stitches to keep the muscles and tissues around the orbit intact. Take special care of dogs after operation to avoid infection and other problems.

4. Maintenance of artificial eye

Because the dog's artificial eye is not a real eyeball, it needs special care. It is necessary to clean the prosthetic eye every day. It can be cleaned with warm water and non-irritating soap, and harmful substances such as alcohol are not allowed to be cleaned. At the same time, you should also make an appointment to the veterinarian to make sure that the prosthetic eye is in good condition and there are no infections or other problems.
