Hello Samantha,
I am a totally blind college student, and I had my left eye removed nearly
two weeks ago. My right eye was removed in September of 2009. I would
recommend a prosthetic eye for your daughter, because there needs to be
something besides the orbital implant filling the volume of her eye socket.
If there is nothing filling the space of the eye socket, the chances of
disfigurement, incorrect facial growth, bone structure deformities, ETC are
very high. Not to mention the whole other issue of people staring,
whispering, commenting, and so on. I do believe that this is a battle that
is worth fighting, because it will benefit your daughter for the rest of her
life. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Kolby
