New eye

Anya recently went back to the ocularist to get a new prosthesis made. This time, she was amazingly patient and willing. She was able to do the mold, which should make for a better fit. She also told the ocularist her thoughts on the old eye - the iris was too dark, too big, and the pupil was too big. All of these were subtle, of course, but they were also true and he agreed with her. The pupil can never be an exact match as it doesn't change in size as her natural eye does, but she asked me to watch her for the weeks leading up to the appointment to see what size her pupil most often is. The end result is a wonderful match.

There happened to be a story on NPR just recently about prosthetic eyes. If you have ever been curious about a prosthetic eye, it is worth a listen. It also shows some pictures so you can see that it really isn't a "glass eye" and it certainly isn't a sphere. You can listen to it by clicking here:
