Temporary Prosthetic eyes

Temporary Prosthetic eyes

My brother had his eye removed due to Ocular Melanoma in Jan 10. The treatment plan is to do Radiation Treatment or Cyber surgery to the eye socket. My brother is very self conscious of the missing eye. Can he be fitted for a temporary eye during his Radiation treatments or does he need to wait until his treatment is completed?

The present plans are that he be fitted for a permanent prosthetic eye after his radiation treatment. Does he need to wait?
