5. Can the Prosthesis be Fitted Over Any Type of Implant?


Absolutely! An added benefit of fitting by this very specific and exacting method makes it possible for surgeons to place special implants in the orbit at the time of eye removal. If such sophisticated implants are fitted by older, traditional methods, there can be danger of pressure necrosis and eventual loss of the implant; whereas, when such implants are fitted by the Modified Impression Method, the likelihood of comfortable retention is nearly one hundred percent.
