An ocular defect may affect a patient psychologically and an ocular prosthesis is given to uplift the patient psychologically and improve the confidence. Defects of the eye may follow the removal of a part of or the entire orbit. This results in the patient becoming visually and psychologically handicapped. Restoring the defect with a prosthesis not only restores esthetics but also gives back the lost confidence to the patient. This is a case report of a patient with a prosthetic eye fabricated by the combination of a stock eye and a custom ocular prosthesis.

Ocular Defect

Loss of an eye or any body part has an intimidating and crippling effect on the psychosocial well-being of the patient. Although the artificial prosthesis cannot restore the function, it can highly improve the patient’s esthetics and help them regain their psychological confidence. Literature has advocated various rehabilitation modalities including empirical use of stock shells, modifying stock eyes, custom-made ocular prostheses, ocular implants, etc. A custom-made ocular prosthesis, among all the techniques, shows improved adaptation to tissue bed, distributes uniform pressure, provides a more esthetic and precise result, and is relatively cost-effective. This case report explores a relatively comprehensive method of custom ocular prosthesis fabrication for an ocular defect with a satisfactory outcome.

AbstractThe eye is a vital organ and an important component of facial expression. Loss of an eye has a crippling effect on the appearance and psychology of the patient. Surgical removal of the eye is therefore normally followed by fabrication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. A cosmetically acceptable prosthesis is that which reproduces the natural color, contour, size and iris orientation. A sequence of steps for the construction of custom made ocular prosthesis is outlined in this case report using a modified impression technique.

Objective:This case report describes the rehabilitation process of a case of acquired eye defect with patient specific or custom made ocular prosthesis for a patient who had her left eye surgically enucleated as a treatment step for retinoblastoma. Method: After primary evaluations, an intraorbital impression was taken while reproducing natural eye movements to ensure accuracy of the impression. The impression was cast and a transparent acrylic conformer was made from the mould in the cast. The conformer was adjusted as required and Iris position determined. The conformer was then used to cast the final custom ocular prosthesis. The patient was then instructed on its usage and maintenance. Result: A custom made ocular prosthesis was provided to the patient and it was to her satisfaction. Conclusion: Custom made ocular prosthesis is highly recommended in rehabilitation of facial defects of a co-operative patient as it does not have most of the limitations which a stock ocular prosthesis does.

ABSTRACT Problem Prosthetic eyes often cause dryness, irritation, and inflammation of the anophthalmic sockets. Purpose To reduce the discomfort caused due to dryness of ocular prosthesis by a custom-made hollow ocular acrylic prosthesis, which is filled with lubricant drops slowly and systemically released into the ophthalmic cavity upon blinking. Materials and methods Thirty-eight patients wearing unilateral artificial eye for a period of more than 6 months were evaluated. An innovative customized hollow prosthesis is described, which was incorporated with a hollow reservoir containing a combination of a tear substitute along with cyclosporine A (0.05%) acting as the lubricant. The patients were then evaluated with the help of a questionnaire, regarding the comfort, dryness, soreness, and the ease of use of prosthesis. A self-formulated grading system was used to record the scores. Results Postinsertion of this hollow prosthesis, there was a marked reduction in the dryness, irritation, discomfort, and signs of inflammation. Conclusion It was concluded that the continuous flow of the lubricant onto the dry prosthetic eye helps in reducing dryness, irritation, soreness, and inflammation. Clinical implications A hollow ocular prosthesis that can continuously discharge lubricant onto the dry prosthesis can help in increasing patient's acceptance and comfort.
