Abstract
The aim of this project is to make prosthetics for those who have lost their eyes due to an accident, disease, or genetic disorder. The goal of this project is to help people who have an absence of facial tissue by restoring their appearance and giving them greater self-confidence. The problem with the current prosthetics is that they are completely static, which breaks the illusion of realism whenever the patient blinks. This project aims to be able to synchronize the mechanism to blink at the same time like a healthy human eye. This will further increase the realism of the prosthesis. It also aims to devise a blinking ocular prosthesis, which can be synchronized with a healthy eye using a LED/photodiode system due to its ease of use, safety, cost effectiveness and durability. The entire system is proposed to be wireless.
