Description

Abstract

After the loss of an eye, immediate fabrication of a cosmetically appealing prosthetic eye is a key factor for a successful social, occupational and psychological rehabilitation. 

1.      The objective of prosthetic rehabilitation of an ocular defect is to provide a well-fitting ocular prosthesis that closely resembles the original eye, restoring the patient's confidence and social acceptance.

2.      Ocular prostheses can either be customized or prefabricated. The challenge encountered with         prefabricated eye prostheses is poor fit and esthetics. Customized prostheses exhibit better fit, aesthetic outcome, and comfort to the patient in the long term. 2
