Generally the artificial eye is a very good match with your remaining eye although
the artificial eye will not move as well. After the removal of an
eye, the tissues of the eye socket may shrink over time and result
in a sunken hollow appearance. A new artificial eye may then be needed,
and sometimes further surgery to build up the volume in the socket
is indicated. You should consult your oculoplastic surgeon if this
happens.
It is important to protect your remaining good eye, and also visit
the ocularist once a year to maintain the quality of the artificial
eye.
