Abstract:
Individuals who have impaired vision as a result of illness or injury may have their appearance improved with the use of a prosthesis eye. To construct realism, symmetry, and a glance that appears natural, it is necessary to duplicate the size and arrangement of the iris with accurate pinpoint accuracy. This is crucial for developing a realistic-looking gaze. Eye loss has a profoundly debilitating impact on the mental state of the person who has suffered it. The ultimate goal of every ocular prosthesis procedure is to facilitate the patient's reintegration into society while preserving their healthy visage and self-esteem. This article provides a clinical report on the rehabilitation of a patient whose left eye had suffered intraocular foreign body damage following evisceration. A closer fit between the prosthesis and the ocular base tissue can be achieved with custom-made acrylic resin ocular prosthesis that are sized and shaped to fit the ocular socket of the patient. This close fit results in a more uniform distribution of pressure compared to factory stock eye prosthesis and is more cost-effective than stock eye prosthesis
