Prosthetic Management Of Phthisis Bulbi Patient: A Case Report
Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Phthisis bulbi is an ocular condition caused by wound healing secondary to severe trauma, inflammation or necrotizing tumours of the eye. It represents an ocular end stage disease characterized by atrophy, shrinkage and disorganization of the eyeball and intraocular contents. Disfigurement associated with eye can cause significant physical and emotional disturbance. Prosthetic rehabilitation over the residual eyeball is the preferred treatment of choice over surgical intervention such as enucleation or evisceration. Prosthetic rehabilitation of such patients is challenging and a multidisciplinary approach is required to provide a satisfactory ocular prosthesis. This case report describes the prosthetic management of a patient with phthisis bulbi.
