Description

The role of eyes in human body is very important, the dysfunction or loss of eyes can lead to some psychological and emotional behavioural issues. It’s getting worse when this condition leads to a decrease in quality of life. The use of ocular prosthetic is highly suggested, it may replace the entire eye or the part of damaged eye such as outer scleral portion, and make the eye looks like before the damage. Custom-made acrylic resin ocular prostheses according to the shape and size adapted to the ocular socket of a patient can provide close adaptation between the prosthesis and the ocular base tissue leading to a more even distribution of pressure than factory stock eye prostheses with more inexpensive cost than stock eye prostheses.
