Management of the
ocular prosthesis
In order to facilitate life with the new ‘tenant’, it is good to know and implement a few tricks. Below is a preview.
Application
Inserting the ocular prosthesis causes no discomfort to the patient, since – being tailor-made for the individual – it does not create any pressure.
Cleaning
The prosthesis should only be washed when necessary to avoid the psychological discomfort of repeatedly removing it and straining the eyelids. Centro Ottico di Massimo Rizzi also offers a periodic cleaning service to those who already have a prosthesis made elsewhere.
Removal
To remove the ocular prosthesis properly, follow the steps as instructed by the technician or use a suction cup provided by the technician.
A comprehensive service
Centro Ottico di Massimo Rizzi guides the patient through each stage of the process, providing comprehensive support.
Consultancy
Carried out right from the first meeting, during which the patient’s background and specific needs are assessed, and he or she is guided through the formalities that need to be completed.
Monitoring
Carried out by a follow-up request and reminders of check-up visits; this is essential to ensure that the work has been carried out correctly.
Assistance
Ongoing, in order to allay any doubt the patient may have and to support him/her in the process of adapting to the prosthesis.
As additional facilitation, Centro Ottico di Massimo Rizzi has an agreement with hotels nearby the head office, where patients can stay at discounted prices during the manufacturing time of their medical device.
