An Alternative Method for Fabrication of Tailor Made Eye Prosthesis - A Case Report

Abstract

Ocular prosthesis can be stock or custom made. Stock prosthesis is generally placed immediately after the ocular surgery during the healing period. Once the eye socket is completely healed the custom prosthesis can be made for the better fit and adaptation of the prosthesis to the patient eye. The eye prosthesis though non functional provides aesthetic to the face, self confidence to socialize, hence overall a enhanced quality of life.

Various techniques and methods are used to fabricate a custom prosthesis. This technique is an attempt to utilize fewer appointments for the fabrication and to increase patient comfort and aesthetics. The case report explains the steps involved in the fabrication of completely customized ocular prosthesis with minimum appointments.
