Quonita Smeda


" Quonita was born with congenital anophthalmos in the right socket. At three months a baby conformer was fitted in theatre to stretch the socket. Unfortunately she had to undergo several reconstructive procedures during the past eight years. After each procedure a custom-made conformer and eventually "eye" was made. Quonita might need further reconstructive surgery in the future but her socket is much bigger and the prosthesis is more stable in the socket."
