The craftsmanship and level of detail that goes into making a prosthetic eye is truly impressive, and Mandi Bundren published a gallery on Bored Panda documenting the two-day process that went into creating her husband’s brand new peeper. Her husband, Rich, had his right eye removed after developing Diabetic Retinopathy, which made it too painful to keep. Luckily, thanks to a talented ocularist, Rich has a brand new acrylic eye that is so realistic, you can’t even tell which one is fake. Here’s a behind-the-scenes, step-by-step look at how they did it. We’ll let Mandi take it from here.
Some of the photos below may not be for the squeamish.
The conformer is a plastic shell (like a giant contact lens) placed into the eye socket after enucleation (eye removal) surgery to hold the shape for a prosthesis. It takes a couple months for the eye to heal and the swelling to go down before a prosthesis can be made.
The ocularist inserted a different conformer shell with a tube attached into his eye.
She squirted a viscous fluid into the eye socket to make an impression of the inside of his eye. He described it as being cold and very alien feeling, but it did not hurt.
It took a minute to harden
After being removed, this is the impression of the inside of his eye socket. I think it looks like a mountain range, others have different opinions as to what it resembles. The overall shape of the prosthesis will be based off this impression to give it a perfect fit.
The little disc is the canvas on which she paints the iris to match his original eye color.
The little clear disc she is holding contains the pupil. It will be adhered to the iris.
The little peg will be used to pull the eye in and out during fitting.
The pink thing is a wax cast. The actual prosthesis will be just like it.
Here is the ocularist’s nifty little blowtorch. Heat is used to shape and smooth the wax, and move the iris around. She would put the cast into his eye, check the placement of the iris, take it out and make adjustments to ensure the iris was pointed in a natural direction. She did this about 4 or 5 times. It was a very efficient process.
Time for the details. I did not get to see the process of creating the final prosthesis from the cast, but this is it. It is ready for my most favorite detail of all, the veins. Red, silk thread is used for the veins. The way the thread shreds and spreads gives an ideal representation of blood veins in the eye.
And now, the eye. During the night, the eye dried in an oven. The blue dot is for orientation (it is always at the top).
It was smoothed and polished to give it a natural look and comfortable feel. Despite popular opinion, artificial eyes are made from acrylic. Glass has not been used to make artificial eyes since World War II. Also, most people expect artificial eyes to be round like a marble. But most are actually sort of seashell shaped. This is because there is already a permanent implant in the back of the eye attached to the ocular muscles. The back of the prosthesis is shaped to rest against the implant and move just as a natural eye would.
She put it into his eye socket so quick that I didn’t get a pic. But here is Rich, sporting his new eye
Here is a close-up. Rich was voted as “Most of Beautiful Eyes” in the 8th grade. Ironic but accurate.
Three week slater… would anyone guess it wasn’t real? As you can see in the picture, his left eye has some scarring from previous eye surgeries. So his prosthetic eye is the more natural looking of the two.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

SATC star Kim swears by gym sessions with Russian kettle bells (traditional cast-iron weights) and the South Beach Diet to give her the body she wants. To avoid overeating, Kim has a radical diet trick – squirting lemon juice on her leftovers – so she won’t carry on picking.
Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
