What is "gypsum eyes"?

A plaster eye is an artificial eye designed to resemble a real eye and is commonly used for implantation in individuals with disabilities. Made from materials such as plaster and plastic, the plaster eye is custom-fabricated by medical professionals through multiple precise steps before being fitted onto the disabled individual. The structure of a plaster eye is complex, primarily consisting of specialized components including the outer eyeball, support frame, ciliary muscles, and temple parts. These components, manipulated using advanced technical methods, allow for fine adjustments to achieve optimal appearance when implanted on the face. Furthermore, plaster eyes can mimic the natural shape of real eyes and can be customized according to the individual's unique facial features, helping disabled individuals overcome social communication barriers caused by eye impairments. Two key points should be observed during the use of a plaster eye: first, it should be replaced regularly to extend its service life; second, cleaning must be done carefully—wet towels or strong acidic/alkaline solutions should not be used; instead, only a soft cotton cloth should be used for gentle wiping. Additionally, if any damage or deformation is detected, the individual should promptly visit a hospital for examination to prevent further complications or injury.
