An ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) is a custom-made shell that sits over an orbital implant in the eye socket, matched in colour and detail to your other eye. When an eye is removed (enucleation or evisceration), an implant is placed to give volume and movement, and a prosthesis is fitted once healing is complete.
The goal is a natural, symmetrical appearance and comfortable long-term wear. At Dayal Eye Centre, this is delivered as part of our oculoplasty service in Gurgaon — from eye-removal surgery through prosthesis fitting and ongoing socket care under one roof.
An orbital implant placed at the time of eye removal transmits movement to the prosthesis, improving both motility and cosmesis — so the artificial eye moves broadly in step with your natural eye.

If eye removal is needed, this is done first and an implant placed. After healing, a custom prosthesis is crafted and fitted, then refined for colour, movement and comfort. We also care for the socket long-term and manage any prosthesis adjustments over the years.
Where the eye cannot be saved, enucleation or evisceration is performed first and an orbital implant placed to restore volume and movement.
The socket is given time to settle and heal before a prosthesis is fitted, so the final result is comfortable and stable.
A custom ocular prosthesis is crafted and fitted, then refined for colour, movement and comfort to match your other eye.
We care for the socket over the years and manage prosthesis adjustments — polishing or remaking it as needed to keep the fit and look good.
Socket problems can be corrected too. An anophthalmic socket that fits poorly or has contracted can be reconstructed to improve prosthesis fit — see eye socket reconstruction.
The cost depends on whether eye removal is needed, the type of orbital implant and the custom prosthesis itself. The figures below are indicative starting-from ranges; the exact cost is confirmed only after a consultation and examination.
