The evolving family ocularist team, is in 5 convenient Northeast office locations. It prides itself as the fourth generation hard at work and maintaining the same level of service and care that has kept the company a leader in the field of ocularistitry for over 170 years. When M&G was founded by Peter Gougelmann, glass was the material used in making artificial eyes.
During World War II, plastic was implemented into eye prosthetics. Plastic then became the standard for fabrication of ocular prostheses over the following decades. Since the first plastic artificial eyes were developed, M&G has devoted its efforts to provide an eye that gives the wearer all of the comfort of a glass eye plus all of the technological advantages of plastic.

Dr. John Brody is absolutely amazing! His knowledge, professionalism, patience and kindness were outstanding! My mom, who is up in age now and very self conscious about her prosthesis, was made to feel very comfortable and relieved during her visit. He was so warming that we didn’t want to leave. Top notch service. It doesn’t get any better than that!
