Ocular prosthesis clinic

The department has a dedicated ‘Ocular prosthetic Clinic’ manned by well trained and skilled ocularists serving on a full time basis. These ocularists are experts in developing customized ‘artificial eye shells’ that fit the patient precisely. This goes a long way in reducing the deformity that could be caused by removal of an eye due to various reasons and the accompanying social stigma.
