Prosthetic eye at Naval Medical Center San Diego

U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Daniel Cortez, a maxillofacial prosthetics laboratory technician, forms a wax frame around a prosthetic eye at Naval Medical Center San Diego in San Diego, Calif., Feb. 3, 2009. Maxillofacial prosthetic technicians create prosthetics involving the cranium, such as custom teeth, eyes, ears and facial bones, to minimize the appearance of congenital or acquired disfigurations.
