ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic eye for use in replacing the natural eye of a user in an eye cavity having eye muscles. The prosthetic eye has a spherical body in the shape and form of the natural eye. The spherical body is provided with several receiving regions extending radially from the anterior section of the eye. Further, the prosthetic eye has tabs for attaching to the eye muscles. The tabs with the attached eye muscles are inserted into the receiving regions to couple the muscles to the prosthetic eye. The tabs may be adjusted by removing and reinserting the tabs from the receiving regions and repositioning them in the appropriate location in the region so that the prosthetic eye may rest in its natural position in the cavity with respect to the remaining natural eye.
