Prosthetic eyes
in Health ·
Greetings,
We have a little one who is nearly a year old and dealing with some eye issues. He has to wear an ocular prosthesis that we had custom-made by Dr. Popijač in Savannah. During those first few days, we struggled quite a bit with putting it in and taking it out, but now, he’s making it almost impossible. He won't let us open his eyes at all; he kicks his legs, pulls away, and just squirms so much that we can barely maintain control over him. It has already been four days since he last wore it, and we feel a sense of urgency to take action... Are there any other parents here navigating this same struggle? Who would you recommend we reach out to for guidance? We are deeply concerned that if he isn't wearing the prosthesis regularly, the development of that side of his face might be delayed or even permanently stunted.....
