Emily Geelan

Emily Geelen

Emily joined Artificial Eye Services in 2011, training under the guidance of her father and aunt. She represents the third generation in her family to pursue a career in ocular prosthetics.

Emily works full-time in Perth and conducts an annual regional clinic in Bunbury, Western Australia.

She has attended international ocularistry conferences in Australia, Europe, and South Africa to further her professional development.

Emily has a particular interest in the artistic aspects of prosthetic eye fabrication, specialising in detailed iris painting to achieve a natural appearance.

She also enjoys creating custom top markers for children and adults, incorporating small, personalised artwork onto prostheses.

Jenny Geelan

Jenny Geelen

Jenny has been crafting ocular prostheses for over 31 years in the family practice based in West Perth. Recognised for her expertise and dedication to the field, Jenny was featured on ABC News as “the master artisan changing lives one eyeball at a time.”

For the past 25 years, she has also conducted regular outreach clinics in Darwin, where all prosthetic work is completed on site during twice-yearly visits to ensure regional patients have access to specialist care.

Jenny was instrumental in establishing an artificial eye clinic in Timor-Leste. With support from the Royal Australian College of Surgeons, she trained local ocularist Filipe Soares in the craft of ocularistry. Artificial Eye Services continues to support this program by providing equipment, consumables, and ongoing training to help maintain access to care for patients in Timor-Leste.

Working alongside her brother Paul, Jenny also developed a system for creating bespoke temporary ocular prostheses. This innovation allows patients to wear a natural-appearing prosthesis while their socket heals following surgery, rather than waiting months for a final device.

Jenny is committed to innovation and personalised care in every case she treats. Understanding that the loss of an eye can be a deeply traumatic experience, she strives to ensure each patient feels comfortable, supported, and confident wearing a natural-looking prosthesis.

A founding member of the Ocularists Association of Australia, Jenny is dedicated to raising the quality of ocularistry in Australia and enthusiastically shares information and techniques with other ocularists.
