3D-Printed Prosthetic Eyes Revolutionize Production with AI and Speed

New technology significantly reduces the time and labor needed to create highly realistic prosthetic eyes, improving patient outcomes.

Scientists have developed a method to 3D-print extremely realistic prosthetic eyes in just 90 minutes, a process that traditionally takes eight hours.
The new 3D-printing technology, combined with AI, can produce prosthetic eyes that closely match the patient's healthy eye, enhancing their appearance and confidence.
So far, over 200 adult patients have received these advanced prosthetic eyes, with plans to expand testing in more clinics.
The technology could potentially benefit 8 million people worldwide who need prosthetic eyes due to birth defects or loss.
Researchers aim to reduce costs and make realistic prosthetic eyes accessible to more people, while still involving human experts in the process.
