Always remember how glossy and clean your Artificial Eye looked like when you first got it.
This page is all about Information on Maintaining, cleaning, removing and taking care of Artificial Eyes.
Cleaning your Prosthetic eye could have many effects in your eye socket as well as to the Prosthetic Eye itself.
Correctly handling your prosthetic eye could lessen the chances of inflammation or infections in your eyelid as well as prolong the health an Artificial eyes.

How to  remove an Artificial eye:
To avoid infection, make sure to wash your hands properly with an Anti-Bacterial Soap.
Avoid removing Artificial Eyes in a surface where it might get lost if it falls. (Eg. Sink or Toilet)

To Remove:
  1. Place one finger on the lower eyelid surface with the Artificial eye, and slightly pull downward.
  2. Look up, as in most cases, it loosens up the placement of the Artificial Eye
  3. Let the other free hand be ready to catch the Artificial eye.
  4. Using the finger that you placed in the lower lid, press it inward and/or pull it toward the ear.(while looking upward)


Note: There are other many ways to remove your prosthetic eye and the easiest is using a suction cup.


To Insert:
  1. Use your index finger to lift the UPPER EYELID upward to create a space
  2. Gently slide upward the Artificial eye inside the space the you created while lifting the upper eyelid.
  3. Once you’ve inserted the Prosthetic eye or the Artificial eye inside the eye socket, gently and slightly pull the LOWER EYELID downward until the prosthetic eye fits properly and in place.



Cleaning: Gently rinse the Artificial Eye with water to easily remove any protein built ups or any debris. Use your fingers to gently scrub the prosthetic eye and remove the protein build ups and debris. Use only ANTI-BACTERIAL LIQUID SOAP for disinfection Dry by using a soft tissue, preferably a soft facial tissue

NOTE: This cleaning method is not a substitute for a Professional Polishing of your ocular prosthesis. It is recommended that you have your prosthetic Eye polished every 6 to 12 months, depending on your body chemistry.
