About Owner and Ocularist Lorna Rynne
After 8 years of creating ocular prosthetics, I started Kind Eyes to merge expert craftsmanship with a high level of client care and give patients an ocularist they can trust. I recognise the uncertainty many people have when getting an ocular prosthesis made, and with Kind Eyes, I hope to create an environment where patients feel well cared for and well catered to.
Before discovering my passion for ocular prosthetics, my journey started in New Zealand, where I studied printmaking and sculpture.
In 2013, here in the UK, I began my prosthetics training under the guidance of John Pacey-Lowrie in Nottingham. Then, in 2014, I was offered a position at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, where I worked for 8 years as an ocularist and then advanced ocularist.
My time at Moorfields gave me the opportunity to work with both adult and paediatric patients, creating prosthetics for many patients with complex sockets who found it difficult to access good treatment elsewhere.
With my years of experience in a busy and varied NHS department, I’m more than comfortable working with microphthalmic and anophthalmic patients, with newly monocular patients and with patients who wear bilateral prosthetics.
As an ocularist, I bring a high level of craftsmanship and skill to my work. I pride myself on my observation and painting skills and on my ability to sculpt shapes that are both comfortable and flattering.
