Overview of Services for Individuals with Congenital Eye Conditions
Our team provides specialized prosthetic services for individuals with congenital eye conditions. These services are designed to meet the unique needs of each patient.
- Tailored Care Plans: We understand that no two patients are alike, so we take the time to develop personalized care plans for each individual. This ensures their prosthesis is comfortable and meets their long-term needs.
- Custom Ocular Prosthetics: Our ocular prosthetics are carefully crafted to match your natural eye, providing a realistic and comfortable fit. Each prosthesis is tailored to the individual’s personal comfort.
- Scleral Shells: We offer scleral shells; protective covers that naturalize appearance while providing comfort and functionality for patients with partially developed eyes.
- Family Support and Guidance: We know how overwhelming it can be for families caring for a child with a congenital eye condition. Our team offers guidance and emotional support throughout the process to help families feel confident and informed.
- Specialty Conformers
- Graduated Conformers: Clear prosthetic devices created for the gradual expansion of the socket in Enophthalmic, Anophthalmic, or Microphthalmic patients. These devices can also be shaped to expand and lengthen the palpebral fissure for many reasons.
- Other Specialty Conformers: These devices are meticulously crafted with a specific purpose in mind to gradually shape the palpebral fissure over time, achieving a natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. The duration of this process can vary from weeks to months, potentially even years, depending on the patient’s situation.
Types of Congenital Eye Conditions Treated
Anophthalmia
Anophthalmia is a condition where a person is born without one or both eyes. This is a difficult diagnosis for both patients and their families.
We create specialized graduated conformers to create, develop, and enlarge the socket, leading to the wearing of prosthetic eyes over time.
These prosthetic devices will help restore facial symmetry over time, allowing patients to feel more confident and comfortable in their appearance.
Microphthalmia
Microphthalmia is a condition in which one or both eyes are abnormally small and underdeveloped. This condition can affect vision and appearance.
Eye Concern offers prosthetic solutions for those with microphthalmia, carefully designing graduated conformers and ocular scleral shells that fit comfortably and improve overall appearance.
Other Conditions
In addition to anophthalmia and microphthalmia, Eye Concern supports patients with other congenital eye conditions that affect eye development and appearance.
Our expertise in crafting custom prostheses ensures each patient receives a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution.
Benefits of Ocular Prosthetic Devices for Congenital Eye Conditions
Restoring Natural Appearance
An ocular prosthesis can make a world of difference for individuals with congenital eye conditions. Custom-made to match the natural eye in color and detail, a prosthesis helps create facial symmetry, restoring a more natural appearance.
This allows patients to feel more comfortable and confident in their daily interactions.
Promoting Confidence and Self-Esteem
Living with a congenital eye condition can affect a person’s confidence. With a well-fitted ocular prosthesis or scleral shell, patients often experience a boost in self-esteem.
Whether a child feels more secure in social settings or an adult navigates their professional life, the right prosthetic solution can promote a sense of normalcy and empowerment.
Supporting Emotional Well-Being
An ocular prosthesis doesn’t just change someone’s appearance; it can also positively impact their emotional well-being.
For many patients, feeling more at ease with their appearance leads to less anxiety and more comfort in their day-to-day life. Our goal is to provide a physical solution and an emotionally uplifting experience.
