When you loose an eye, it hurts psychologically. Artificial eye completes the face and provides the confidence to overcome the loss. The eye is made by impression technique with hand painting and gives a close match with the original eye. The impression material is injected in the socket to get the accurate impression from which the mould is made The advantages include better movement, very little discharge and a comfortable fit.
What is this?
Why is it important?
Who needs it?
How is it controlled?
The original socket is cleaned before taking an impression. Specially designed impression tray is inserted in the socket. Impression material is mixed and injected in the socket through the impression tray. This procedure doesn’t hurt at all. Once the impression material solidifies, the tray is carefully removed from the socket. Based on this mould a wax eye is made. This is checked for fitting in the socket and sculpted as required to achieve the best fit.
The centre of the eye where the black button would be fitted is marked using a marker pen. The button is painted to match the original iris of the other eye. It is cut to the required size and is used to cast an artificial eye in the mould using white acrylic.
The artificial eye made as above if checked for fitting again, then painted to match the other eye. Threads are used to create the blood vessels. Once this is done, the art work is sealed by covering and curing it using clear acrylic. Now the eye is almost ready and goes for polishing.
Its a long process and may take a week for the eye to be ready. The result of of all this process is a work of art. Its an art that heals the hurt caused by losing an eye. The face becomes complete and its an emotional moment for the whole family as the good looks of the patient are restored.

Our Story
Few years into the profession we realised that a speciality Vision care Clinic is not available to serve the needs of people with vision related problems.
Among the many eye clinics, rarely anyone dealt with Vision issues the way it should be done.
Saoji Contact lens clinic (Sitabuldi) was serving the people of Nagpur
since 1969, but scope of practice was limited to Contact lenses.
In 2000 we started Saoji Vision care, an Optometry clinic having all faculties of Optometry like Speciality Contact lenses, Binocular Vision clinic and therapy, Customised artificial eyes, Scientific spectacle dispensing.
At SVC as we all lovingly call the clinic, we believe in giving the most apt Vision care solutions to all our patients.
