About Brett Ocular Prosthetics

Brett Ocular Prosthetics is a clinic located in the Old South neighbourhood of London, Ontario, providing custom-made ocular prosthetics to patients across the province. The business offers a variety of specialized services and products for individuals who have lost an eye or have monocular vision, including consultations, custom eyes servicing, and supporting care. The clinic specializes in hand-crafted ocular devices made from acrylic plastics, including conventional prostheses for enucleated sockets and custom scleral shells designed to fit over damaged, blind eyes or into eviscerated sockets. Other offerings include trial shells for socket assessment, custom conformers to assist in healing for children and adults, and specialized prosthetics for museum standards or cinematic special effects. Ongoing maintenance services include biannual checkups and cleaning, adjustments to account for soft tissue changes, build-ups to maintain retention and comfort, and recoloring services to ensure a perfect match with the companion eye. The practice has deep historical roots, tracing back to 1944 when Cecil F. Webb began developing techniques for artificial eye fitting and fabrication. Jonathan Brett became involved with the practice in 1991, completing his training under Michael Webb and Cecil Webb before becoming a Board Certified Ocularist in 1998. After purchasing the London location, Jonathan Brett sold the practice in March 2020 to his son, Jonathan H. Brett, who now serves as the head ocularist. The business describes itself as being connected to a network of industry experts to provide high-quality patient care.
