Question

what are the precautions for artificial glass eye

Answer 1

##Always use clean hands when handling your prosthesis.

• Check your surrounds to make sure the prosthesis won't be damaged or lost if it is accidentally dropped.

• Too much handling can cause irritation and excess drainage, remove the prosthesis only as directed by your ocularist.

• Always close eyelids and wipe toward your nose, wiping outward may dislodge the prosthesis.

• Try to position your chin toward the person you are conversing with. Practice moving your head and shoulders, not just your eyes.

• Nicely fit glasses with polycarbonate lenses will help protect your natural eye.

• Do not store your eye in tissue, as it could accidentally be discarded.

• Do not clean the prosthesis with any solvents, hand sanitizer or alcohol, as these chemicals may damage the prosthesis and your socket.
