Founded in 2008, the New Zealand Prosthetic Eye Service provides evidence-based professional care for prosthetic eye wearers in New Zealand. It is a specialist practice that makes, fits and maintains:
- custom prosthetic eyes
- scleral shell prostheses
- orbital prostheses
for people who have lost or disfigured one or both their eyes.
We operate from established eye health centres throughout New Zealand where we work within a team environment with ophthalmologists and optometrists.
