What does polishing of a prosthesis entail?

This is the process whereby the ocularist uses special polishing compounds designed for the specific plastic and heavy duty lathes. It brings the anterior and posterior aspect of the prosthesis back to its original lustre.

This process should be done every 6-12 months. Some people who cannot handle their own prosthesis come to us every 2-3 months.

It takes approximately 15-30 minutes. The occularist will also check the socket and surrounding tissue.
