The prosthesis fits over an orbital implant and under the eyelids.
"It goes in like pancake batter and sets like the white of a hardboiled egg," David says. This is a painful, but crucial, part of the process. The impression provides the ocularists with an understanding of the contour and topography of the area behind the eyelids, so that the shape of the prosthesis fits with the underlying tissue and looks ...

Prostheses are held in place either by biocompatible drying adhesives, osseointegrated implants, magnets, or another mechanical means (although rare) such as glasses or straps.
