Ocular prostheses – a question of trust

We have been creating ocular prostheses made of glass (colloquially known as glass eyes) at the Kunstaugen-Institut Leipold since 1920. Now in our fourth generation, we are known as a competent and reliable contact partner in the Ruhr region, NRW and beyond.

We also have additional branches in North Rhine-Westphalia:
Arnsberg - Bielefeld - Dortmund - Münster - Paderborn - Soest - Wesel

Member of the German Ocularists Society in Hamburg (Deutsche Ocularistische Gesellschaft DOG e.V. Hamburg)
