Pet Columns: Saving Face When a Horse Loses an Eye A more elaborate and costly option is the ceramic ocular prosthesis, or "glass eye." This type of prosthetic is very similar to those in people; it looks like a real eye, can be removed and reinserted, and is even made by the same ocularists that make ceramic eyes for humans. Since the ceramic ocular prosthesis is not directly attached to eye muscles, a horse must have intact eyelids, eyelid muscles, and conjunctiva to hold the prosthesis in place, so the veterinarian must plan ahead to preserve these structures, especially if an enucleation surgery is performed prior to placing the ocular prosthesis. Since the procedure for fitting and creating an ocular prosthesis requires much preparation, time, and money, it is rare and is performed mainly on show horses. www.cvm.uiuc.edu /petcolumns/showarticle.cfm?id=423   (1044 words)
