Conformer
A conformer is a clear
eye socket and allow the eyelids to blink over the shell without rubbing the suture
line.
The conformer shell holds the shape ready for the artificial eye, and is worn for six to eight weeks after surgery.
Some ocularists will make a temporary artificial eye which can be worn as the conformer shell.[citation needed]
