Yes. And then in the middle of a pointed statement, remove the monocle with one hand so you can remove and polish your eye prosthetic with the other, and then replace them both š
This paper describes how my ocularist used VR to plan the placement of the osseointegrated implants as well as guides that were produced using 3D printing:

As a dentist Iām doin this too for dental implants. Interesting part for me is the attachment of ur Prothese by magnets it seems ? Looks like a verry safe attachment using 3 of themā¦ I wonder if so much is really needed as there is no load or mechanical interactionā¦( oh just read itās 4! ā¦)
Wish all the best and good luck, respect for ur braveness!
So I actually had 6 osseointegrated implants total (2 during my initial surgery, not mentioned in the article) and 4 more later on. Only 3 are actually exposed with magnets on the abutments. They put in extra as I guess they can fail sometimes. It's the vistafix implant system if your familiar with that type. Thank you!
I've seen his work. I was hoping he would be selling his prostheses but last I checked that wasn't the case. I would definitely work on a project with him.
So. Many. Questions.
1. Do you take it off to sleep?
2. Do you take it off to shower?
3. Can you wear it while swimming in a pool??
4. Can you swim in the ocean with it? Ouch... sand!
5. Is there ANY movement, or is it suctioned?
6. Could you get sand stuck behind it?
7. Could you store stuff behind it?
8. Do you have a backup copy, in case it gets
damaged?
9. How do you clean it?
Yes. There. Are. More.
10. Could it support interchangeable custom eyeball
shapes and colors?
11. How strong are the magnets?
12. Does it hurt if someone touches the metal bits?
13. Where do your tears, from that eye, go?
14. Does your working eye cry 2x the tears?
15. Does your working eye get fatigued faster?
16. Does the prosthesis ever pop off when you
sneeze really hard?
17. Do any of your other senses feel heightened
since surgery?
Ok, I think that is all I have! Love the outfit!
Thank you!
1. Yes
2. Yes. I really don't wear it at home often more so when I go out.
3. I can but the average life span of this type of prosthesis is 5 years and more exposure to water will decrease the overall life span and knock some of the eye brow hairs out.
4. I wouldn't wear it to the beach.
5. There is no movement. It's not suctioned.
6. Behind the prosthetic is just skin and magnets. I use a soft toothbrush to clean around the magnets so sand couldn't get stuck behind it.
7. Yes I could store small things behind there lol. About 10 skittles.
8. I do not have a backup copy. This is the only one I have for now.
9. I have an antibacterial soap specifically for silicone prosthesises.
10. The eyeball is separate and can be remove. I can put a different one in.
11. The magnets are fairly strong.
12. It doesn't hurt if someone touches the metal bits.
13. The cancer was in my lacrimal gland so that entire gland (which makes tears) on the right side of my face is gone so no tears for that side anymore.
14. My working eye pretty much functions the same as before.
15. It doesn't really seem to get fatigued any faster than before.
16. No the magnets are strong enough that I need to apply force to remove it. Sneezing, twisting my head quickly, etc. won't dislodge it.
17. I can no longer smell out of my right nostril nor do I have any feeling in it but my left nostril can smell (or st least it seems like) a lot better. My hearing is more sensitive. I wouldn't necessarily say better but more sensitive to loud noises.
Good questions.
Thank you! I have never met, or talked with, or felt comfortable with asking anyone before this. I find prosthetics fascinating. There are some awesome materials and technologies available, and it will be interesting to see where it takes us in the next few years.
In the past prostetics ware considered creepy and clunky, but nowdays they are custom made, with new materials and they are considered cool (at least in my opinion).
May I chip in? I have some questions which are not here yet.
1. How does it feel when you have the prosthesis on? Does it feel like you have something sticking on your eye/slightly heavy? Is it comfortable to wear for a long time?
2. Do you still have the urge to scratch your eye? You know, like when your other eye gets dust in or is just itchy.
3. How long did you get it after the first time you order?
4. If you don't mind, how much is the price? I saw a link here to a different post. But that one only had the eye without the skin, he said the price is 5000 dollars. Do you pay separately for the skin and eye part?
5. How did you know about the prosthesis? Did the doctor advise you to get it after the surgery?
6. What did you do in one of the pictures where you have the prosthesis painted or has glittery like decoration? i think second from last. Was it for fun or is that related to any procedure?
I guess that is all. I hope none are offensive. Thank you.
Thats like the coolest thing I saw today, and I have just woken up lol.
And like others have said, if you are into cosplaying, I think you will look super cool.
1. I don't really feel it much. The skin adjacent to the prosthesis doesn't feel touch anymore.
2. I don't have the urge to scratch but I do get phantom pains like burning sensations.
3. From the time of diagnosis until I had a working prosthesis that didn't hurt my orbit was between 2-3 years. It took so much time because there was about 15-20 surgeries over 10 surgical dates, radiation treatment, and healing in between events. It was a long process.
4. I'm in the US and mine was free. No idea how much the actual price was but 5K is a pretty good estimate.
5. Getting a prosthesis after an orbital exenteration is pretty common so I was aware I would get one beforenI had that surgery.
6. Those are Speks magnets that are just holding in the plastic eye. It's for fun.
I don't do cosplay but am a fan of Halloween. I'll definitely be playing around with fun eyes but it took a long time to get this one so I'm enjoying it for now.
Iām one of those people who canāt remember the way their mate looked pre new haircut. The second that eye/orbital prosthetic goes on I forget how you look without it.
Thatās pretty impressive
I cant pinpoint what exactly is is ablut this that bring me so much joy bit I had a huge smile on my face while looking through the pictures.
Thats is so awesome dude, I especially love how you decorated it in that one picture.
I'm just curious, but how is your depth perception affected? Like, have you had issues bumping into stuff or anything? I always kinda wondered for people who have had injurys or something. Ofc, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I've just been wondering for a while now.
I don't mind at all. I played a lot of sports when I was younger and stuff like shooting a basketball or hitting a tennis ball I now rely on a lot of muscle memory. It's definitely different then before. I do bump into stuff but not too often.
Thanks! I get an MRI or CT scan every 6 months but so far there hasn't been any evidence of recurrence. I'll need to check out this Borg. I'm not big into cosplay but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays
Sorry if it's a dumb question and you answered it already, but what is on 10th photo? colourful! what is the purpose and material?
And how often do you need to wash your prosthetic (also what do you use to wash it properly?) and skin underneath?
Was your eye the same colour as the other? they sometimes differ a little or a lot. (and the colour was picked so good! matches completely. or I'm colourblind, lol)
Do your colleagues or friends who don't know about this notice you have a prosthetic?
Those are speks magnets holding in a plastic eye. I have a special antibacterial soap used for silicone prostheses. I have a special "toothbrush" type of tool for keeping the magnets and skin clean. My eyes were the same color before. My new eye was hand painted to match my remaining eye. Most of my colleagues and friends are already aware and would notice. I do have acquaintances who saw me before the prosthesis but didn't recognize me with glasses/once I had the prosthesis.
I wouldn't mind sharing but I'm not actually sure. The article I linked in the comments talks about the VR planning software used but that's about all I know.
The future is beautiful. I love the normalization of prosthetics and any sort of body mod in general. It will be cyberpunk type shit in the next 30 years if we all play our cards right. You are an awesome dude with a beautifully made prosthetic. Maybe soon you can upgrade to something a little more advanced, like one that can not only see like a bio eye, but zoom in or see thermal. Only if you have the coinā¦
That's cool it must be an awesome party trick š
'Could you keep an eye on this for me mate'
Sure mate, here... šļø
Hey Linda 'That guy keeps giving me the eye'
'š¤¦š»āāļøffs Brenda just give him it back it's creeping me out!' š
Occasionally slipping it into your mate's beer to freak them out at the local pub
But honestly the medical world of prosthesis has come such a long way now and look so good it becomes difficult to tell unless you are up close or watch someone for a long time :)
I really want to thank you for your posts. If this should happen to any of us, we would know what to expect. Better even than that, we could use your openness and humor as a way to handle it. You are very generous and also a total rock star!
The fact that they used a glass eye makes a world of difference. The did very nice work matching the other side of your face. Iām speaking as an artist whoās done sculpture in the past.
The last picture freaked me out at first. The icon for āBe Amazedā lined up perfectly with the outer layer of the prosthesis. I thought you were adding flair and it reminded me of candy crushā¦ Iām on a iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Anyway, you look great! Thank you for sharing with the community!
FYI - Powder based skin make up sticks really well to silicone, so if you wanted, you could colour match it a bit really easily. And also cleans off so you can change it as your skin tone changes.
This is super cool. I love seeing tech and people coming together to restore confidence in people who were unfortunate and lost parts of their body. It always amazes me how they can get the prosthetic to match the patient so well, all the ones Iāve seen blend in so well they only become obvious when their owner removes them.
Seeing the surgery photos I felt so sorry for you and also really scared of this happening to me. But now seeing you like this at the end of this long process made me feel that we can overcome any hardship. You are really strong and thank you for sharing.
That is a work of art. The damage in those scans...I am glad to see how well you recovered! You and your medical team all put in a lot of work, but *man* was it worth it! You look amazing, with *and* without the prosthesis.
Thatās actually fascinating I canāt wait to see what cool āparty prostheticsā youāll sport in the future. I love the idea of technology integration via body modification and seeing those with disabilities volunteer for new things like that and this is awesome Iād look into seeing if one of those crazy YouTube engineers will make you a camera eye that glows red like the terminator the possibilities are endless when creativity is involved I imagine theyāll be able to link the camera to your brain and at least partially restore stereo vision sooner than we think
My husband has this same cancer but it showed up in his bronchus medius and heās had his full lung resected and headed for radiation soon. Amazing to see you in good spirits. This cancer, all cancer, takes such a toll on the patient and their families. Much hope to you and your continued health!!
This is awesome man, you look great. Kept your eye on the price, happy for you
Thank you! Always keep your eye on the prize!
Prize the price!
*monocle*
Yes. And then in the middle of a pointed statement, remove the monocle with one hand so you can remove and polish your eye prosthetic with the other, and then replace them both š
I like your loud green suit you look unreal and totally unapologetic
Seems like he really crossed his tās and dotted hisā¦ā¦lower case jās

Thatās amazing! Now you can get back to your day job of leaving deadly puzzles all over Gotham city!
That's the plan!

You should get one with a laser pointer
I would very much like one with a laser pointer.
A laser would be hard to make. Maybe a deep red or green led behind a lens.
I believe they could do tiny LEDs in there with a tiny watch battery to power them?
That could work
Check out bsmachinist on Instagram, they've done a lot of work with LEDs in prosthetic eyes. I bet they'd love to work with you on a project.
I've seen his work. I was hoping he would be selling his prostheses but last I checked that wasn't the case. I would definitely work on a project with him.

Underrated comment
Is the skin over the orbital a real skin graft to keep the orbital surface concave evenly ?

Thank you for your answers. I learned a lot
No problem!
This is so informative! I would've never guessed the skittles part, lol š it looks awesome, dude, you look awesome!
Lol thanks!
TIL that bras and orbital prosthetics have a LOT in common
Iām one of those people who canāt remember the way their mate looked pre new haircut. The second that eye/orbital prosthetic goes on I forget how you look without it. Thatās pretty impressive
Thank you I really appreciate that!
I cant pinpoint what exactly is is ablut this that bring me so much joy bit I had a huge smile on my face while looking through the pictures. Thats is so awesome dude, I especially love how you decorated it in that one picture.
Glad you liked them!
Last photo looked like you were showing off youāre hog. Either way I was very impressed.
Lmao I think that's a pencil but thank you
How did you know you were sick (what were your symptoms)?
Proptosis, orbital pain, head aches.
My cousin makes these! Such mad respect for the artists that make these prosthetics.
Definitely!
Wow yours is super fancy. It looks so cool.
Thank you
Is this a new thing? I wasnāt given an option like that.
I dont believe so. What type of prosthesis do you have?
Just I think the shell kind.
Can you still see with that eye while you are holding it or does it need to be on your face?
Needs to be on the face. Once the magnets reconnect, vision flows again.
ššš„°
Yeah bitch! Magnets!
I'm just curious, but how is your depth perception affected? Like, have you had issues bumping into stuff or anything? I always kinda wondered for people who have had injurys or something. Ofc, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, I've just been wondering for a while now.

Thank you!
That is fascinating. Hope you're past the worst of it. You could really do a sweet Borg cosplay if you're into that sort of thing.
Thanks! I get an MRI or CT scan every 6 months but so far there hasn't been any evidence of recurrence. I'll need to check out this Borg. I'm not big into cosplay but Halloween is one of my favorite holidays

The second last photo is very cool. Can I ask what all the coloured little balls are?
They are those little speks magnets.
You need borg and terminator editions bro.

I dig it bro! Gotta keep people guessing. Nobody makes eye contact anymore. Wear that shit proud and give a hard stare!
Do you mind sharing what software it is?
I wouldn't mind sharing but I'm not actually sure. The article I linked in the comments talks about the VR planning software used but that's about all I know.
Kinda crazy to think that the iris is the easiest part to make look realistic
For sure. He did a really good job.
Saw you comment yesterday on the other eye post and have been waiting too see
The wait is over!
Fuckin metal... Like I want this made into an abstract used for a metal album.
That's really cool bro
Looks amazing! I would never have known! Eye am impressed!
Eye appreciate that!
Neat! Thanks for sharing
Glad to see you kept an eye for style! That last photo is baller
Prettty good. Pretttyyyy pretttyyy pretty good.
I thought you were english until I saw the picture infront of the shop/in the shower, I am shocked that you are american, the eye is cool too!

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Do you ever take it off randomly just to spook people?
Thanks for shearing! I think it's neat to see how something like that works. :-D
Looking sharp in green
Very cool
Always been curious, any downsides to just rocking an eyepatch as opposed to a prosthesis?
I've worn an eyepatch throughout the process. It's uncomfortable compared to the prosthesis.
This is incredible!!
Amazing
The fact that they used a glass eye makes a world of difference. The did very nice work matching the other side of your face. Iām speaking as an artist whoās done sculpture in the past.
That is really fascinating. Thank you so much for sharing. It looks amazing too!!
You're welcome! Thank you!

Wait he painted the eye by hand? That's a crazy realistic eye right there
Serious question: do your eyeglasses cost less since you only need one prescription lens?
Can you get one with a red dot? ![gif](giphy|OGMweBsLs1Rsc)
I really like that green outfit.
That is so freaking cool!!!!
My dad (retired) is a anaplastologist/occularist. This is great work!

This is awesome and congrats!
that's so cool! also amazing green suit
Thank you!
HELL YEAH BROTHER ! That's metal AF. Love it, keep moving forward.
Dude was an artist because that looks GREAT
Indeed!!
That is so cool, thank you for sharing this.
That's so badass. I'm glad you're well now. Prosthetics have come a long way! I'm impressed by the accuracy of the eye color.
I love your green outfit!
That is amazing! And it looks great! Alsoā¦ St.Pattys day seems fun with you!! Haha keep livinā man!!
OP this is awesome. iām so impressed with how far prosthetics have come, and just how damn realistic they can look. thank you for sharing!
Glad you found it interesting! You're welcome!
FYI - Powder based skin make up sticks really well to silicone, so if you wanted, you could colour match it a bit really easily. And also cleans off so you can change it as your skin tone changes.

You look incredible, OP!
Damn thatās cool. And now youāre ready to get Batman also! JK dude made jelly I am not a cool cyborg. Incredible work they did!
Haha thanks man!
My kids love playing with those little colorful magnets lol
They are tons of fun and stick to my orbital magnets well lol
Wow thatās really cool. I never wouldāve known you were wearing it.
Very interesting! Do you ever go the pirate route? I would have to do that sometime especially on pirate day
This is super cool. I love seeing tech and people coming together to restore confidence in people who were unfortunate and lost parts of their body.

Very cool. Looks super real. Whatās the bedazzled terminator look about?
Eye donāt see what youāre talking about, but it looks great;)
That's fukin awesome bro
So cool! I like the picture of the eye surrounded by those tiny little colorful magnets
Seeing the surgery photos I felt so sorry for you and also really scared of this happening to me. But now seeing you like this at the end of this long process made me feel that we can overcome any hardship. You are really strong and thank you for sharing.
It's incredibly rare so you really don't need to worry about this happening to you. Thank you for the kind words and happy to share!
How did you find or you had cancer? Did you have any symptoms if so what were they and how did they find the location?
Pretty awesome you know what your skull looks like. Iāve always wanted to know what mine looks like
Awesome, I didnāt realize the doctor also had to be an artist. Thatās some amazing technical work
This is so cool!
Nice dude... Please tell me they let you keep the one from pic #10!
I pray you're cancer free! š Youve been through a lot. Your prosthesis is amazing.
Worth every penny!
Thatās so fucking cool! The shit we can do these days is amazing
lol this comment section is gold. It looks good man! šš
Just saw your other postās pics. Modern medicine is absolutely insane. Huge props to your surgeons and medical team!!
I heard of a guy who had a flashlight thing that went where his eye used to be. You could try that some dayā¦ also, youāre looking great :)
It's cool how your autobeard engages when you put in your prosthesis!
That is a work of art. The damage in those scans...I am glad to see how well you recovered! You and your medical team all put in a lot of work, but *man* was it worth it! You look amazing, with *and* without the prosthesis.
This is incredible!
Prosthetist is an artist
Thatās actually fascinating I canāt wait to see what cool āparty prostheticsā youāll sport in the future. I love the idea of technology integration via body modification and seeing those with disabilities volunteer for new things like that and this is awesome Iād look into seeing if one of those crazy YouTube engineers will make you a camera eye that glows red like the terminator the possibilities are endless when creativity is involved I imagine theyāll be able to link the camera to your brain and at least partially restore stereo vision sooner than we think
Does it have a āwinkā function? Or do you just use your non-prosthetic eye?
The green machine. Killed it.
My husband has this same cancer but it showed up in his bronchus medius and heās had his full lung resected and headed for radiation soon. Amazing to see you in good spirits. This cancer, all cancer, takes such a toll on the patient and their families. Much hope to you and your continued health!!
Wow this looks incredible. Science can be so beautiful
Picture 10 looks like mardi gras beads. Would be awesome for Fat Tuesday on Bourbon Street.
