Why Would Someone Need An Artificial Eye?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Accidents can happen in life and no one knows what is round the corner. It could be someone who has chucked something and hit a person in the eye. Or sometimes a pellet gun may hit someone straight in the eye. If the injury is too severe there is a distinct possibility that they eye may have to be removed. Sometimes the eye is so badly damaged especially if a pellet or something with force has hit the eye and it may break or shatter.

    Retinoblastoma is also another reason why an eye may have to be removed, to stop the cancer in its tracks before it spreads any further as it is close to the brain.  This is when an artificial eye would have to be fitted to replace the old eye and to fill the gap which has been left. The eye is quite fragile and there are many reasons that may cause the eye to have to be removed.
