Ocular Prosthesis: A Reconstructive Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The ocular and orbital disorders require surgical intervention that may result in defects. The associated psychological effect of these defects on the patient requires immediate management and rehabilitation. In the present case, a patient reported to our department with the chief complaint of facial deformity due to missing left eye. There are two different methods to restore enucleated socket, viz., prefabricated ocular prosthesis (stock eye shell) and custom-made ocular prosthesis. This article aims at describing a simplified technique to fabricate semi-customized ocular prosthesis. In the present case, the iris of prefabricated and custom made sclera was used for the fabrication of the prosthesis. Through this, precisely selected stock iris fulfills the demand for artistic skill and reduced time consumption for painting. The customized sclera met the esthetic and functional requirement.
