What is the Okularist doing?

Okularist creates his own artificial eyes for people who have lost the eye or need to remove the eye. The process involves performing accurate measurements, shaping and adaptation of eye prosthesis and painting. Although there are artificial eyes “in stock”, the eye craft prostheses fit accurately. The work of a eyepiece is quite different from the work of a eyepiece; The latter is a somewhat outdated and general term for a medical eye specialist, whether an optician, optometry or ophthalmologist.

The start of the process of installing a new artificial eye, the eyepiece gives the impression or cast of the eye socket. The impression is formed by a plastic form - a form for a real prosthesis, which is made of acrylic. The eye creates a basic prosthesis in the form, then precisely forms it as needed and paints white, iris and pupil using the second eye of the patient as a model. After the final adjustment of the shape assessment and the comparison of the colors on or onaruct of the patient for proper care and maintenance of a new prosthesis.

6 For eye -oriented, there are some areas under specialty, such as pediatric eye replacement; Implants that may move simulate normal eye monitoring; And schering shells, which are suitable over disfigured or faded but functional eye, restore its appearance. Although their services are more often required to replace the human eye, some ocularists can provide their own eye prostheses for animals that have lost the eye.

Unlike many other medical or medical adjacent specialists, eye physicians do not have special schools or do not achieve a specialized title. In the US Society of Okularists (ASO), eye training requires apprenticeship training. Before training ASO recommends grounding in science and art, namely painting and sculpture, for those interested in career in ocular prostetis.

Despite its name, ASO is the International Council. ASO, which certifies the eye -over, requires the apprentice to study all aspects of eye prosthetics and stHe ravaged for several years with practical training. The organization also offers classes at its semi -annual adaptation, production techniques, toning, anatomy and physiology and hygiene. After training, the eye eye certificates the National Okularist Investigation Council after the completion of written and practical tests.
