Chantal Kritzinger & Gavin Downward. Our aim is to provide relevant information and support for people who have or will need an artificial eye. We have offices in Johannesburg and Port Elizabeth in South Africa.

Beryl Carvalho and the Ocularists at Eyes Alive manufacture custom-designed, individually crafted and hand painted ocular prosthetics as well as supplying and fitting a range of stock ocular prosthetics, or artificial eyes. An Ocularist is an eye care professional who specializes in the fabrication and fitting of ocular prosthesis for people who have lost an eye or eyes due to trauma or illness. The fabrication process for a custom made eye typically includes taking an impression of the eye socket, shaping a plastic shell or model, painting the iris and sclera and then fitting the ocular prosthesis. In addition to creating the prosthetic eye, the Ocularist shows the patient how to care for and handle the prosthesis. The Ocularist also provides long-term care for the patient through periodic examinations and professional care of the prosthetic eye.

Manufacture and fit artificial eyes, haptic shells over blinded eyes, and facial prostheses. All ocularist services are rendered from practices in Pretoria (Muelmed Hospital, Tswane), Ocumed in Vanderbijl Park, Bloemfontein (Mangaung), the Eye Hospital in East Londen, George, and Witbank. Offices are in Krugersdorp (Mogale City) . Artificial Eye Aid and Care is a one-stop Ocularist practice for all your needs, including obtaining Medical Aid Scheme approval. As members of AOOPA, the SAOA, SASOPS, and OSSA our practice is fully registered with the BHF to claim from medical aid schemes. All AOOPA registered Ocularists are further regulated by the Consumer Ombudsman who has statutory powers and jurisdiction for binding decisions under the Consumer Protection Act, who is the only Ombud in the SA Ocularist field with such statutory powers and binding jurisdiction. Patients can therefore be assured of the best services and legal protection.
