Re: From Neil Gaiman's journal

Well, I stil have mixed feelings about hwo the ocularist treated me when I wanted to change the eye color of my prosthetics, but I would make that more of a caveat than a blatant disrecommendation. The truth is that his work is exceptional, and as far as being gentle and being understanding about issues of pain, anxiety, and even outright fear due to previous experiences with terrible ocularists, he and all of his office are again exceptional. It's just this one area where his attitudes are stuck int he 1950s and, although I found that to be a really big "but," I am far more concerned about other people getting prosthetics which fit correctly and are correctly made so that the process doesn't cause them pain, because it seems there are a number of people who shouldn't be allowed to touch a patient who are allowed to be in business. I would still recommend this ocularist to anyone who needed one, just adding that you have to stick to your beliefs sometimes about personal decisions.
Apologies for the lengthy reply.
