Medical craftsman John Pacey-Lowrie can empathise with his patients - he is blind in one eye. Despite the fact his own vision is impaired, Mr. Pacey-Lowrie is one of only a handful of specialists who design, manufacture and meticulously hand-paint false
eyes. In fact the 54-year-old, who has a practice in Nottingham city centre, has created nearly every facial feature in his
time.

Looking into Ray Bissons eyes, it is all but impossible to tell which one is artificial. The 51-year-old IT expert is one of more than 20 patients who have already benefited from a new service now available to Islanders at the General Hospital.
Since February, ocularist and craftsman John Pacey-Lowrie has been spending the first week of every month in Jersey.
Developing a false eye with a dilating and contracting pupil may be some way off, but ocularist John Pacey Lowrie can already do wonders for patients who need an ocular prosthetic.
Having started out in facial prostheses, he switched to specialising in prosthetic eyes, cosmetic shells and scleral lenses 30 years ago, finding the work more interesting.

Scroll over these pictures and click on an arrow to see more about each condition.
Microphthalmia/Anophthalmia are conditions that occur in children.
The first condition is where the eye does not completely form. The second condition is where the eye, or eyes, are missing.
It is important that these children receive prosthetic rehabilitation at the earliest stage possible.
From the pictures we see here, the results speak for themselves.
Enucleation is the surgical removal of an eye or eyes, this is done for a number of resons being diease, trauma, congenital disorders.
This young lady had her eye removed as a child and has received continuous treatment to achieve the result we see here.

When an eye is enucleated, the normal practice is for the surgeon to place an intra-orbital primary implant.
Modern implant materials, such as "MEDPOR" which is a plastic device with hundreds of interconnecting channels throughout its spherical shape. This design allows vascularisation to take place, and after this is complete a motility pegging device can be placed.
This is a second surgical procedure which involves locating the centre of the sphere and rilling a hole to accommodate a titanium sleeve and peg.
As you can see from the pictures, the peg fits closely to the back of the prosthesis and the resultant motility is obvious.
This is a condition that results from blunt trauma causing loss and evetual total loss of Ocular pressure, this means the damaged eye will shrink and typically result in a small eye with little sensation, blind and in a quadranted state, however this is a very good natural orbital implant for motility and shape .
