This collaboration is essential for multiple reasons. Some of those are:
⇒ The creation of an even, right in dimensions socket in which the BioEye will be placed, following evisceration or exenteration.
⇒ Follow up for the possible remaining sutures which interfere with patient’s comfort.
⇒ The surgical preparation which a phthisic eye needs before the fitting of BioEye.
⇒ Providing conjunctival conformers for socket retainment.
⇒ The manufacture of custom conformers in cases of socket particularities or space issues.
⇒ The manufacture of custom conformers in cases of socket reconstruction to provide stability to the surgical outcome.
⇒ Eyelid surgery planning during BioEye fitting process or the appropriate prostheses modifications, facilitating surgery and improving the outcome.
⇒ Planning strategy of superior sulcus deformity, which sometimes is present in anophthalmic patients.
⇒ Surface and volume design of the BioEye for the normal eyelid function. Great importance when dry eye syndrome is present or malfunction of the relevant glands.
⇒ Check of the surface of BioEye and possible reconstruction when needed.
⇒ Ideal lubricating solution with the use of BioEye.
⇒ Check and common treatment (medication and BioEye modification) when alterations of conjunctival tissue occur, evident with appropriate stains.

The manager of the department is Lefteris Karageorgiadis, who follows closely every case of ACCESS soft prosthetic lenses or PMMA ophthalmic prostheses, fitting and manufacture.

ACCESS soft prosthetic contact lenses are manufactured using our custom painting 3D technique, based on digital photography data.

Research of improved fitting and manufacturing technology is our main concern.

The types of prosthetic devices we manufacture are:
ACCESS soft prosthetic contact lenses
Custom PMMA (acrylic) medical grade prostheses following impression
Custom PMMA (acrylic) medical grade scleral shells following impression
Conjunctival conformers for the post-surgical healing period
