title: Prosthetic correction.
abstract: Fitting a comfortable and cosmetically attractive prosthetic device is a challenge, one which many people in the ophthalmic field seem to hesitate to undertake. Based on my experience, I provide practical guidelines for this important task. Artificial eyes which are required after enucleation are not discussed, but contact lenses and shells for disfigured blind or seeing eyes are.
