A method of manufacturing an artificial eye for fitting as a whole or partial replacement of a patient's original eye comprises providing an image of an iris on a substrate 100 comprising at least a frontal region of an artificial eye, providing a support on the substrate 108, positioning the substrate and support in a mould, and encapsulating the substrate within a mould material 136. Preferably, the support is a pin, the head of which 110 may be positioned on a frontal side of the substrate to form the pupil; a hole and recess may be provided in the substrate for positioning the support. The end of the support may be snapped off once the substrate is encapsulated. A digital image of an iris may be acquired and transferred to the substrate either by 3D printing or a transfer material such as a dye sublimation film. A pre-moulded artificial eye and artificial eye are also provided. |
