Simplified Technique for Ocular Prosthesis Fabrication: A Case Report with 2 Years Follow-Up

Abstract

Ocular prosthesis fabrication traditionally involves complex processes that require meticulous attention to detail and specialized techniques. This case study presents an alternative approach utilizing simplified techniques for the fabrication of ocular prostheses. A 28-year-old female presented with evisceration of the right eye due to adherent leucoma, HSV keratouveitis, and panophthalmitis, necessitating an artificial eye for cosmetic rehabilitation. Instead of conventional methods involving elaborate procedures, a simplified technique was employed, significantly reducing the fabrication time. This case report outlines the step-by-step process of the simplified technique. The results demonstrate the efficacy of this approach in producing high-quality ocular prostheses with reduced complexity and resource requirements. The findings emphasize the potential of simplified techniques to enhance ocular prosthesis services and underscore their importance in improving patient care and quality of life.
