What You’re Paying For — and Why It Matters
A prosthetic eye is a deeply personal part of your healing. That’s why we approach each case with care, artistry, and attention to detail.
Most patients choose to pay out of pocket or finance their care with monthly payments through CareCredit, which ranges between $112 and $250 per month over 18 months.
Here’s what that cost includes:
- A comprehensive consultation and medical intake
- A fully custom-fit prosthetic eye, shaped and hand-painted to match your natural eye
- Follow-up appointments, including adjustments and refits if needed
- Ongoing access to our team for questions and support
How Long Will a Prosthetic Eye Last?
Cannot say enough fabulous things about Anna and her team. I have met clients in her office from all over the country — people fly in to work with her. My mom and I drive from Charlotte twice a year for my mom’s eye — so worth the drive. The care, attention and expertise we receive is invaluable. If you live in the Charlotte area — just bite the bullet and drive! You won’t be sorry.”

Pediatric Prosthetics with Gentle, Experienced Care
When a child needs a prosthetic eye, it can feel overwhelming for the whole family. At Carolina Eye Prosthetics, we’ve worked with many pediatric patients — some of whom we’ve seen grow from babies into teens.
While we don’t offer financial accommodations specific to children, we do bring years of experience, a calming environment, and a team that knows how to connect with young patients and their parents. We take extra care to ensure the prosthesis fits well and that each visit feels safe, not stressful.
Because children grow quickly, prosthetic eyes need to be replaced often to keep up with facial development. We’ll help you plan ahead and know what to expect, so there are no surprises along the way.
