The Eye Reflections: The Art and Science of Artificial Eyes & Prosthetic Contact Lenses
By Dr. Chandrashekhar Chawan, PhD, FSLS, FAAO
A profound journey into the world of healing, vision, and identity—this is not just a book about artificial eyes, but a tribute to the science, artistry, and humanity behind every prosthetic gaze.
With over 36 years of global experience as a Celebrity Optometrist and Ocularist trained at Moorfields Eye Hospital (UK) and a long-standing member of the American Society of Ocularists, Dr. Chandrashekhar Chawan invites you into the intricate and compassionate universe of ocular rehabilitation.
Whether due to birth anomalies like anophthalmia or microphthalmia, trauma, cancer, or degenerative conditions, the loss of an eye can be a deeply personal and social setback.
