Second Artificial Eye

After you lose your eye, many of the muscles in you eye recede. This is fairly dramatic for the first six- to eight-weeks, which is why you should not even attempt to go for a fitting until after this period. However, even after you are first fitted with you new eye, you muscles will continue to shrink, although much more slowly. You can go back to your ocularist for a second fitting after about 6 months from the first fitting. Usually, your ocularist will not make you a completely new eye, but will merely add plastic until the eye fits correctly.
there are certianly other aspect when you will need replacement.

• Looks smaller in size
• Appear pale in color
• Porocity
• Too much seceretion from the eye
• Exceive discolrations with the normal eye and
• Itching in the eye

Movements in your Artificial Eye

From an appearance standpoint, your new eye should be indistinguishable from you other eye, except that your new eye will not move very much. The reason for this is that the muscles in your eye socket aren't attached to your new eye like they were to the old one. Probably most people will not even notice this (or care), but if you are self-conscious about it. There are a few possible solutions:

First, you can wear sunglasses or have your eyeglasses slightly tinted. Since to protect your other eye you will want to wear some sort of protective glasses anyway, this is the easiest solution.

Second, you can have installed into your eye socket a special type of implant made of a porous material to which your muscles and other tissues will slowly connect. This implant will better interface with your artificial eye, thus giving the eye more natural movement. There is a possible downside, however, and that is that the porous materials also make the eye socket slightly more susceptible to infection, so you will want to consult not only your ocularist but also your eye surgeon about the benefits and risks.
