ABSTRACT:
A device and method for making artificial eyes. The device uses either photographs of a patient's eye, or, the patient's eye is digitally scanned. This digital image can then be read, manipulated and changed on a computer screen using common software. Once the image is perfected, it can be printed with a color laser printer. The image (either a digital printout or photograph) can then be cut and attached to an iris button. To prevent smearing of the image during the curing, a formed bonnet is placed between the iris button and the cornea. This bonnet absorbs the compression of the cornea during curing, thereby preventing smearing of the image.
