Mervyn Nixon :: Ocularist & facial Prosthetics

Welcome

Mervyn has provided a clinical fitting service for artificial eyes, lens, ears and all other facial prostheses for over thirty years.  He has served all the major Irish hospitals as well as Northern Ireland.

He first set up in private practice in 1979 having worked with Alfred Lesser from London and training with the Branemark Implant System in Gothenburg, Sweden.

All artificial eyes are fabricated individually for the patient and hand painted to match the companion eye perfectly and the shape is determined by the taking of an impression with soft impression material and wax modelling. It should be note that the procedure is painless.

Mervyn has a laboratory on site which means that any adjustments, say, a colour bias when the eye is completed can be rectified quickly  without the need to send it out of the country and the attendant delays involved.
