What is a Dilating Pupil?

At Advanced Artificial Eyes, we developed a patented digital dilating pupil collarette. This technique utilizes an optical illusion which creates the natural appearance of having a small pupil under bright lighting conditions, and increases in diameter as the lighting conditions change.

The pupil in the center of our eyes change size depending how bright the lighting is. If a person wears an artificial eye, only the natural eye’s pupil changes under varying lighting. Unlike conventional ocular prostheses, the pupil in our ocular prosthesis now dynamically changes in size in response to light conditions.

Prosthetic eye makers have talked for decades about the possibility of placing a dynamic pupil inside the artificial eye. Thanks to digital technology, we have developed a technique that makes this possible.

Years of collaboration with Fredric Harwin and his artistic abilities, combined with our technical skills led to the creation of the digital dilating pupil.

At Advanced Artificial Eyes, our ocular prostheses exhibit a dynamic pupil size in response to light conditions. Our groundbreaking digital iris technology has revolutionized the field, offering unparalleled realism to ocularists and patients worldwide.
