Cleaning of Artificial eye and cosmetic shell

It is recommended to use a hard multipurpose contact lenses solution.

NEVER use detergents, disinfectants, alcohol, or hot water.

Remove your prosthesis/shell. Put it on the palm of your hand and with a few drops of your multipurpose hard contact lenses solution rub it with the tip of your finger. Repeat it on the other side. Rinse it with the multipurpose solution and replace the prosthesis in the socket.

 

Any texture on an ocular prosthesis, like scratches, can cause inflammation of the delicate mucous membrane of the socket and foreign body sensation

 

A professional polish once a year is advisable to remove protein that builds up on the surface, improving comfort and appearance and to maintain a smooth clean surface of the prosthesis.
