For people who have lost an eye, a prosthesis can help restore the appearance of a natural eye. In Delhi, ocularist Ravikant Sharma creates customised orbital prostheses for patients through his organisation, Suvidha Eye Services.
An orbital prosthesis recreates the missing eye and surrounding tissues. It is designed to match the colour, shape and appearance of the patient's other eye.
One of Sharma's patients was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at five months old. Her journey with a prosthetic eye began soon after.
While an artificial eye cannot restore vision, it can help children feel more comfortable in social settings and improve their confidence.
Sharma told Brut that a spectacle-mounted orbital prosthesis can cost around Rs. 35,000. The prosthesis can also be worn without interfering with ongoing medical treatment.
For people who cannot afford the procedure, NGOs and other organisations provide financial support.
Through his work, Sharma is creating prosthetic solutions for people who have lost an eye, helping them feel more comfortable with their appearance.
