A simplified approach to fabrication of an ocular prosthesis: A case series

Abstract

The eye is a vital organ and an important component of facial expression. Loss of an eye has a crippling effect on the psychology of the patient. Enucleation of the eye is therefore normally followed by fabrication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. A less complex technique for fabrication of an ocular prosthesis is described in this report of two different cases.
