How long was it before you received your prosthetic after your surgery? Like with healing times included because i need one done but I am so scared because I'm only able to take 3 months off work and if the healing/fitting process is longer I may lose my job and I have a mortgage to pay
@rahorin 3 months should be enough. I cannot remember exactly but I believe you need to wear the clear shell for 3 weeks or maybe longer. It will take a couple of weeks to get the prosthesis made. My swelling and bruising took a couple of weeks to go down and was only painful for the first few days. You should really be asking your doctor these things.
Dude I totally thought your real eye was the fake one. Didn't know until I watched "stab myself in the eye". I still think your fake eye looks more real than your real one lol.
@alfaomegaenergia haha thanks im really happy with it too. Its just a normal enucleation i just happened to get lucky with the movement (must have had a really good doctor even though i did it through the public health system). I have seen other peoples vids of artificial eye movement and none of them are close to what i have so yeah i really did just get lucky, the doctors did an excellent job!
I think you might have had evisceration surgury, because enucleation is the one takes the whole eye ball and evisceration is the one which tries keep as much as the eye structure.
@pigvivivi no definitely enucleation - the whole eyeball was removed. With evisceration they leave part of the eyeball in there - the part called the sclera.
I have no movement at all with my eye. I've had it since I was 4 (1971) and would like to get an orbital transplant. Did your insurance cover this (mine won't)? If not, how much did it cost?
please reply........im planing to get a prosthetic which moves but i dont want to go around without an eye while i wait for it to be made how long does it take from the first surgery to the completion of the process?
well i had to walk around with a clear plastic lens for about 3 months before i was able to wear the cosmetic lens. which means you could see the inside of the eye socket.. just looked all red.
Ok, thanks, so it was a coral implant. My operation will be similar but instead of using coral, it will be my own tissue taken from the lower part of my back. With your coral implant, there is a procedure available to drill a tiny peg into the front of the coral and mount a titanium peg. Then, the shell has a small hole drilled in the back and the shell clips onto the peg giving excellent mobility. The downside is that the procedure is more prone to infection.
Other implants are plastic balls (a bit like a table tennis ball) which is fitted inside the eye 'bag', and a porous coral implant that can have a small metal peg drilled into it at a later stage for more movement when the shell is fitted to it, but this procedure has had some problems with infections etc.
Thanks for your reply. What I mean by the dermis fat implant, is the operation of removing the eye, then replacing its volume in the socket by a piece of skin(dermis fat) taken from your lower back or buttock. it is shaped as an eye and the extra-orbital eye muscles are attached to it so there is movement, (results can vary). A clear plastic 'conformer' is fitted to shape and protect the front of the 'eye' and 10 weeks or so later, the final painted shell can be fitted.
Hi, thanks for your informaiton and advice. Did you have a plastic implant or dermis fat graft before the prosthesis was fitted do you know? I am waiting to have my right eye replaced and wanted to compare possible movement ability. Thanks
im not sure, but after the operation i had to wear a clear plastic lens for a while before I could get the proper cosmetic lens, im not sure if thats what you mean by plastic implant.
hi! where did you have your surgery? i'm looking for a very good surgent in america because i'm not sure if the germans are the best in that field. you would help me so much! thanks:-) and yes, it really looks naturally just like your right eye!
hi, I had the surgery done in my home town of Australia. I'm sure there's probably very little difference between the treatment you would receive here or in America or anywhere else for that matter.
I did an extensive research and found that Brazilians are the best in that field; Dr. Hilton Rocha (Brazilian Dctr) created many of the now used methods for oftomological plastic surgeries. I had a bad accident and needed to get an eviceration and we chose the best doctor money can buy and it was a Brazilian Doctor.
Thanks for your advice! My retinoblastom was removed when I was 10 months old, so I'm not sure if the muscles of the eye are still working perfectly to place the coral implant. I'm sorry for your accident. It is always harder to loose an eye as an adult than in the childhood. wish you all the best:-)
No problem! I think though its easier to loose it as an adult...I mean, imagine i had to go through the mocking in kindegarden, high school? Plus, honestly...it looks really good! So you know what...it's all good! Life is Great!
A doctor in Tasmania, Australia, did mine free, my tracking is as good as this blokes. Thank goodness for socialized medicine! I feel sorry for you seppos having to find "the best doctor's money can buy, and end up practically homeless to pay for your medical bills.

Do you have a peg in there? Sorry about the questions, I just want mine to move like yours!
And where did you start with the public health system?

@kamoopsipooh no i dont have a peg. I started by seeing a regular GP who gave me a referreral to see an eye doctor at the public hospital.

Oh right. So what is behind your prosthesis shell then if you remove it?
Bluesfornow 2 years ago
the conjuctiva which has been stiched over the coral implant.
