Your Ocular Prosthetic

Justin Oldham was born with Aniridia and Glaucoma.  These conditions cause him to be visually impaired enough to be classified as Legally Blind.  He lost an eye due to Glaucoma when he was a teenager.  Your Ocular Prosthetic is a short book that provides the reader with an introduction to cosmetic eye replacements (i.e., ocular prosthetics).


Eye loss is not quite what you'd think it is, the process can be rapid due to accident--or--gradual when diseases like Glaucoma damage the eye slowly over time.  "It really is not the end of your world," Justin says, "People are surprisingly adaptable, with or without both of their eyes."
