Fabrication of Customized Ocular Prosthesis using a Surface Sealant and Modified Laboratory Technique Using Stainless Steel Wire

Abstract

Eye defects are surgically classified as evisceration, enucleation, and exenteration. It causes psychological trauma as an individual is visually and esthetically compromised. Eye defects can be restored with silicone or acrylic-based prosthesis. This is a case report of a patient with a customized ocular prosthesis where emphasis has been given to securing the iris shell during the laboratory process. A surface sealant has been used to provide glossiness to the prosthesis. The appearance of the patient was enhanced with the eye prosthesis.
