Your tear layer in most cases provides all the necessary lubrication. However, if needed there is a few lubricating drops for artificial eye use. Often eye drops can be very beneficial against dryness, especially on extra dry or windy days. Some of the drops will help maintain a more natural looking wet surface on the ocular prosthesis.
It is important that you return routinely to your Ocularist
(at least once a year) or more often to have your ocular prosthesis checked, cleaned and polished. This will prolong the life of the artificial eye and make it look better and feel more comfortable.

Do not use alcohol, spectacle lens cleaner, hand sanitier, Colin or any chemical cleaner as even a small amount. It can cause irritation in the eye and damage to the prosthesis. Water or contact lenses cleaner are the best.
There is protein in your tears. As the tears evaporate, they leave a white coating of potein on the eye prosthesis. This build -up eventually causes a reaction on the undeside of the lids, leading to irritation. To help reduce protein build-up, periodically soak your eye for a few hours in contact lens solution, and then give it a good hard rub with a wet tissue.
Visit your ocularist regularly so that they can:

The tissue around the eye socket changes over time and the eye can become scratched, even with careful maintenance. For these reasons you should replace your eye every five to seven years, more often for children.
