#Real Empty Eye Socket

Ive had a few similar questions and hope this helps to answer; I had an evisceration, which means the back part of my natural eye was left in place. An acrylic implant was then placed inside the socket, and the eye muscles were wrapped around that implant. This is what allows movement and gives the socket a fuller, more rounded appearance, even when I’m not wearing my prosthetic. My eye was very enlarged before surgery, which is why my implant is quite large. Because of that, the prosthetic that sits in front of it is very thin. When I’m not wearing it, it can look like there’s “almost an eye there,” just without the coloured part. Not everyone’s surgery is the same. Some people have the entire eye and muscles removed, often due to trauma or cancer, so their anatomy and movement may look different. My story is a little different, and I’ve shared more detail in a pinned post at the top of my page and in highlights if anyone wants to understand the journey more fully. Questions like this, asked with genuine curiosity and a desire to understand, are one of the reasons why I have this profile. I want to help open conversations, share information, and raise awareness around visible differences, eye loss and so much more. Thank you for asking, thank you for wanting to learn and than you for being here 💙 Video description: a close up of Hattie, a pale brunette, without her right eye in the socket, looking left, right, up and back to the camera, with an onscreen question from a comment in a previous video reads: Just curious, but is there no eye in that socket at all ?because it totally looks like an eye but it’s just missing the colored part I guess you would say #nystagmus #evisceration #prostheticeye #eyesurgery #ophthalmology

We know for some people, prosthetic eye appointments can feel overwhelming 😣. So sometimes the small talk isn’t random… it’s intentional. We want your appointment to feel meaningful, taking the time to get to know you and gently guide you through each step we take. A little distraction. A little laughter. A moment to breathe. Before we carefully remove a prosthetic eye, take an impression, or reinsert it, our goal is simple: for you to feel calm, comfortable, and cared for. Because it’s never just about the eye. It’s about you feeling safe and confident in our care. 👁️ #ocularist #prostheticeye #artificaleye #oneeeye #EYEMKR

👁️ Delivering a custom prosthetic eye is an unreal mix of excitement and nerves. Even after 8 years, the butterflies are still there. Dylan always says those nerves mean your body knows something important is happening. We know our clients feel it too. We’re all holding our breath for a moment…checking fit, movement, and comfort…hoping everything feels and looks just right. 🙏 And then comes the best part. When all the care, time, and effort come together… it feels really good.🤩 Helping give someone back a piece of themselves that was missing and watching them leave feeling confident and comfortable. Makes every step of the process worth it. 👁️🫶 #Ocularist #Artist #prostheticeye #artificaleye #eyemkr

Some prosthetic eye lore for you guys. Prosthetic eyes are not meant to serve ones full lifetime. Your eye socket changes as you get older, meaning that the form and fit of the prosthetic eye must also be updated periodically. In this reel, I show you 2 of my traditional prosthetic eyes. One is the very first prosthetic eye that was made when I lost my eye to cancer when I was 6 years old, and the other is a more recent one. Both were made using different methods. I've had other shaped eyes as well, but those were donated to those in need as they were of no use to me anymore. Soon I will need to have a new impression taken, and the shape of my prosthetic will likely be a little different. This means if I want to keep rocking my self made Titanium eyes, I will have to remake them all over again.

But here’s the truth… At EYEMKR, we see one client at a time. No waiting room shuffle. No rushing you out the door. Yes, there’s always lab work waiting to cure, polish, and painting to do. But we believe part of crafting custom prosthetic eyes is making connections. We sit down. We listen. We answer every question. Sometimes that means we’re just chatting over coffee or tea. Because this isn’t just a medical device. It’s personal. So come hang out. Bring your family. Stay awhile. We’ll create your eye and build our relationship at the same time. #EYEMKR #ProstheticEyes #prosthetic #oneeye #prosthetic

🤪 👁️ Delivery day of a Custom Prosthetic Eye carries a different kind of pressure. By the time a client walks through the door, the eye has already gone through shaping, painting, curing, finishing, and multiple quality checks. But even then… Five minutes before a client arrives, Dylan is often still at the polish wheel. Not because we’re behind. Not because we didn’t plan. But because the final touches matter. On delivery day, adrenaline is high. Hannah is watching the clock. Dylan is doing the final touches and inspection. If he sees any flaws to the surface, he’ll take another pass on the polishing wheel. Even with five minutes left. It makes Hannah nervous because delivery day is emotional for all of us. Clients are often excited, anxious, hopeful. We want everything to feel seamless. But that last-minute polish reflects something important… we care. We would rather use every available second refining than ever send a client home with something that feels unfinished. Delivery day isn’t just about handing over a prosthetic eye. It’s about handing over confidence, comfort, and craftsmanship. And that final polish is part of that promise. Because at EYEMKR, delivery day doesn’t mean we’re done. It means we finish strong!

I’ve had a couple of comments asking why my prosthetic doesn’t match. I do own a matching prosthetic, but I’ve also chosen to have a mismatching one. I really love having that freedom — being able to choose how my face looks, what I feel like wearing, and what feels most me on any given day. I honestly adore the blue the most though. The heterochromia look also feels like a quiet way of honouring how I looked before my eye was removed five years ago. If you’re curious, there are photos on my profile showing that. Since getting this set, I’ve also noticed that the colour of my remaining eye has shifted slightly, likely due to the medicated eye drops I use, which means they’re not a perfect match anyway. This set also isn’t a perfect fit — I got both prosthetics at the same time — and I’m currently waiting for my new ones to be made in the next few months which will hopefully fit and feel better. I’m incredibly grateful that the NHS provides a prosthetic eye free of charge. Any additional prosthetics are something I choose to pay for myself, and that includes the blue one. I don’t regret it for a second — and I’ve actually gone for another different one this time around too. Having the option to choose feels like a privilege, and one I really value. One of the joyous outcomes of an otherwise challenging situation 🩵💚 Video description: shows a pale brunette female showing comments on screen from people asking why her eyes don’t match, she removed her blue prosthetic and swaps it for her matching green prosthetic.
