Guest Artist Milena Buckel creates Prosthetic Eyes!

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

My brother lost his eye to a rare eye cancer. The person who created his prosthetic eye changed his life. He’s a fan of Big Foot (the concept), so they even added a small glass Sasquatch to the eye (unseen by others, only visible when taken out) just to add a playful aspect. I have so much respect for the skill and passion required to do this.

thanks for rendering less occult the Ocularist's art!

[@katiebarber407]

this was amazing to watch. and due to the rarity of the profession, important to preserve

[@Dept_Of_Ducks]

This is so cool! And a fabulous way to show and preserve such a rare skill!

[@darkwingdork6195]

Wow...that was fascinating on sooo many levels!🤯 I had no idea there were so many differences between eyes and the boro I work with, super interesting and educational!!❤

[@Aquaticfireartglass]

I'm so excited to watch this. There are so few Ocularists left working with glass.

[@burntsky64]

Very detailed. You could say she has an eye for this kind of work.

[@4444Jules]

brilliant lmao

[@WJSpies]

Pretty amazing to watch her do this work

[@BarefootNimh]

Such an amazing profession! Thank you for the demonstration.

[@juanperez-melchor9923]

This was great. One of my favorites demos.

[@NatUSLife]

I am making glass eyes for my toys, but this is a whole new level for me! Really appreciate the demonstration! I wonder where we can study it in the US?

[@kristibbradshaw]

So very fascinating. I’m so impressed. Thank you for sharing.

The Lady is a Saint, and all those like her too.

[@HelenCamile63]

Wow. If I ever meet someone with a glass eye I’ll tell them about this video. ❤

[@yukinausagi888chimchimochimini]

C’est magnifique, i love the way she works this preciously

[@guyaglass]

Such a detailed and well made video! I'm really curious as to what kind of cane she makes. Is it a white core with coloured stripes? coloured stripes around a clear core?

[@KD0AFK33]

If I needed a prosthetic eye, I'd get one made that looks like a googly eye for halloween.

[@Faesharlyn]

Today, from the Cornea Museum of Glass..

[@rodnattrass7021]

so your technical team couldn't clip a wireless mic to her? or a headset mic?

[@Aquaticfireartglass]

Right? How cumbersome for her to be one handed.

[@RICDirector]

Check out Dr Lindsay Fitzharris' book, THE FACEMAKER....really an exceptional read about the prostheses and psychological aspects of disfigurement (WWI) , when damaged men returned from the war. Id bet she spoke with this oculist in her research, too.

[@lblonzypoi]

Lovely

[@deangoddley2061]

How you smoke out of that?

[@s.engelsman4521]

Why in the world is this being filmed from above?? It should be set up to show her face and the photos as she is presenting!

[@tonyk421]

Douse one were a glass eye, or douse the glass eye were you?

[@carlgaddis1400]

Awesome video. Thank you c m o g! Far too many commercials though! Especially when she's at critical parts of making the eye. And your a glass blower. Yeah too many commercials.
