Abstract


Loss of eye might be acquired or congenital. Congenital anomaly or pathology may require surgical intervention and removal of eyeball. Stock ocular prosthesis are readily available in market, stock prosthesis has some disadvantages such as ill-fit, improper shade matching, etc. whereas the custom-made ocular prosthesis has better adaptability, better movement of the eyeball and iris position can be matched with the adjacent eye. This article describes a case report of replacing left eye with ocular prosthesis of a lady patient and improving her well-being. Distribution of force of the tissue bed and co-ordinated movement of the prosthetic eye makes the prosthesis much more acceptable and real like.
