Abstract

Our eyes are the windows to our soul as well as the first features of the face to be noted. The human facial disfigurement related with loss of an eye can lead towards extensive levels of physical and emotional problems. The rehabilitation of an affected patient who has suffered the psychological trauma of an ocular loss requires a prosthesis which provides the most efficient cosmetic and useful end result. An ocular prosthesis is a simulation of human anatomy that uses the prosthetic materials to create an illusion of a normal healthy eye and surrounding tissue as well as to preserve the volume of eye socket. A custom made ocular prosthesis has many advantages as compared to stock shell ocular prosthesis.
