The prosthetic fits over an orbital implant and under the eyelids. Typically known as glass eyes, the<unk>  roughly takes the shape of a convex shell and is made of medical grade plastic acrylic. A few<unk>  prosthetics today are made of cryolite glass. A variant of the<unk>  is a very thin hard shell known as a scleral shell which can be worn over a damaged eye.
