A customer asked me to consider stocking this product as they have had good success with it for lubricating their scleral shell (ocular prosthesis).
If you use a scleral shell and there is another product such as a lubricant, cleaning solution, etc, which you feel may help others if we highlight it here, please contact us. We love pulling together information in one place on things that can be helpful to people with uncommon or poorly served needs.
Careful: This is for use with an ocular prosthetic. It is not suitable for use in the eye or on a scleral lens!
SIL-OPHTHO is a medical grade silicone oil with a special viscosity used as a lubricant for your ocular prosthesis. This silicone lubricant is a valuable aid to prosthetic eye wearers. It helps control both irritation and discharge from the socket.

Has reduced the number of times I need to clean and lubricate my artificial eye. Will order more when needed and will try the thicker type too.

Have had a prosthetic eye since 1956, removing it every night because of discomfort. With Sil-Ophtho the discomfort has disappeared and the prosthetic now stays in 24/7, something I never dreamed could be possible.

Thank you for sharing this, Brian! This is a product I added to the shop at a customer's request a few years ago, though it is slightly outside our wheelhouse! I knew it mattered, but hearing about it making this much difference to someone's quality of life is a really big deal to me. Really heart warming.

A wonderful, unparalleled product. I feel comfortable all day long. I highly recommend it. I have used many types and the result was not satisfactory, such a wonderful product.

This product works very well with a prosthetic eye. It comes highly recommended, and you can also get it from Carolina Eye Prosthetics the people who make the EYE in the North Carolina area.
I purchase for my daughter but she loves it because it keeps her prosthetic really lubricant
