Description

Antique glass eye - Semi-finished

Genuine antique ocular prosthesis with a hand-painted iris designed to resemble the remaining eye as closely as possible.

This eye is not finished; it is semi-finished. It does not have its final shape, which will be carved when the patient is fitted with their own measurements, nor does it have red veins. They all have a small glass “tail” typical of semi-finished prostheses made by blowing. This serves as a grip during manufacture before cutting and polishing.

Color differences and different iris sizes

Not all blue eyes are the same shade of blue, and the same is true for brown and green eyes. Each color is unique. Please note that the green colour is not a bright green, but rather a mixture of brown, grey and light blue that gives the impression of green.

Also, keep in mind that only people with one eye are fitted with prosthetic eyes, not blind people, which means that no two pairs of eyes are EVER identical.

The price is per unit, meaning for one eye only
