ABSTRACT:
A self-lubricating ocular prosthesis includes a solid rigid prosthetic eye body with a chamber in the body opening through an access passage through the posterior surface of the body closed with a releasable cap having an outside face conforming to the posterior surface of the body which abuts the orbital cavity. The cap is of a semi-rigid or flexible polymeric resin to retain a fluid in the chamber which is dispensed through bore openings from the chamber through the surface of the eye body. Liquid may be inserted directly into the cavity through the bore opening while the prosthesis is in place. The prosthesis may also include a dispensing ball or depressible button to dispense fluid from the prosthesis.
