Scleral Cover Shells
Some injuries and conditions change the appearance of your eye without requiring its removal. A scleral cover shell fits over your existing eye to fully restore a natural, comfortable appearance.
Frequently asked questions
A scleral cover shell is a thin, custom prosthesis worn over an eye that is still in place but has been damaged. It’s hand-painted to match your other eye, restoring a natural appearance without removing the underlying eye.
Cover shells are ideal for patients whose eye remains in place but has become disfigured, discolored, shrunken, or no longer sighted. They offer an excellent, natural-looking cosmetic result while preserving your own eye.
We start by gently examining the eye and taking a careful impression, then fabricate a shell shaped to sit comfortably over it. We match the iris color, pupil size, and fine detail to your other eye, and fit and adjust the shell for the best comfort and appearance.
