Next Eye ophthalmic conformers

Next Eye ophthalmic conformers offered by our company are disposable medical devices manufactured from biocompatible materials. They are created to an individual order, based on which we can manufacture a safe product for Patients.

Implanting conformers placed between the eyeball and eyelid separates them, thus preventing their fusion during recovery after:

• burns;
• treatment procedures;
• eye tissue injuries;

In addition, conformers maintain the space in the orbit, preventing it from fusing together and closing completely. Conformers are also used after surgery to remove the eyeball in order to prevent tissue fusion, causing shallowing of the conjunctival folds - before implantation of an ocular prosthesis or epiprosthesis. Conformers can be autoclaved before use, reducing the risk of infection in the postoperative period. We always perform the Next Eye device according to the recommendations of the specialists.

Parameters describing the properties of the conformers

We can make ophthalmic conformers in any size and shape: for both adult and paediatric patients. We can adjust their positioning to:

• right-sided;
• left-sided;
• unilateral.

They are available in the white or translucent colour. Next Eye conformers can be used for a maximum of one month: unless the attending physician advises otherwise. We pack each ordered conformer individually.

What is the purpose of ocular conformers?

The ocular conformers we offer are temporary ophthalmic products. They are used after any procedures performed on the eyeball. They help the tissues heal properly and prevent them from adhering to the eye. The conformers are also used after eyeball removal surgery, to prevent tissue fusion in the conjunctival fornices - before implantation of a prosthesis or an epiprosthesis.

Features of Next Eye conformers

Our conformers are made from bio-compatible polymers, totally safe for the body. They are either semi-transparent or white, and they have holes on their surface which enable free flow of air - “breathing” of the wound and administration of medications to the orbit. It is very important for ensuring a normal post-operative wound healing process. They are disposable. They are always custom-made - we modify the parameters according to an ophthalmologist’s recommendations. A conformer should be worn as soon as possible after a surgery. Moreover, their maintenance must be performed by a doctor during a follow-up visit. Please note that any damaged or permanently stained product, different in appearance than its original condition, must be replaced immediately. The conformers are safe to use, also for infants and children. Their high bio-compatibility guarantees a much lower risk of allergic reactions.

Next Eye symblepharon

Symblepharon Next Eye rings are ophthalmic devices with a round or oval disc shape and a hole in the centre; they are placed directly on the eyeball. They prevent fusing of the conjunctiva and eyelid, ensuring adequate refractive depth, i.e. the space between the eyeball and eyelid. . They are most commonly used in case of diseases which lead to scarring: after chemical and thermal burns of the eyeball, ocular pemphigoid, sometimes after surgical treatment of the eyeball and orbit. Next Eye rings are important for maintaining eyeball mobility and eyelid shape.

Production of the Next Eye Symblepharon rings

The Next Eye Symblepharon rings are manufactured, using the additive manufacturing method and biocompatible polymers, so the risk of allergic reactions is minimal. Just like in case of other Next Eye medical devices, these rings are made to individual Patients’ orders.

Disposable rings

Symblepharon rings are designed for single use for a maximum of 30 days. Moreover, care activities related to them are performed solely by a physician during a follow-up visit. It must be remembered that any damaged or permanently soiled product deviating in appearance from its original condition must be replaced immediately.

If longer treatment is required, additional rings should be ordered. Computer modification of product parameters ensures perfect adjustment to the current curvature of the Patient's eyeball at any age, also in infants.

The rings are individually packed and are not sterile. They can be autoclaved before use.

Next Eye iris button

Next Eye iris button perfectly imitate the iris with a dome imitating the cornea; we use it in production of our prostheses, thus being able to offer a perfect and complete product. The printing process of the Next Eye iris button is carried out using 3D printing technology and biocompatible, certified medical materials.

Photographic quality irises

This method allows us to create prostheses with a photographic quality iris print and a network of vessels that perfectly replicate a genuine human eye. As a result, our products look extremely natural and their owners can enjoy greater confidence and freedom in everyday use.

We print a fresh image of the iris onto the „corneas”. To this end, we either take a photograph of the iris from a healthy eye for computer reconstruction, or we select a model of the iris from several hundred available shades and patterns. Images of the iris can be taken from our image bank or from a photo of the other eye. This ensures unprecedented quality of the anterior eye segment projection.

Properties of the Next Eye iris button

The iris buttons on our offer significantly speed up production of our prostheses and reduce the manufacture costs. In addition, thanks to them a medical device looks more natural and is more comfortable to use.

The prosthetic laboratory does not need to have special equipment or paint the irises on their own, which is a time-consuming process and, as a result, prolongs the waiting time for the prosthesis.

Our prints are characterised by high UV resistance and resistance to damage. They can be ordered, starting with a single item.
