Abstract :
Eyes are generally the first features of the face to be noted. The disfigurement resulting from loss of eye can cause significant psychological as well as social consequences. Most patients experience significant stress, due primarily to adjusting to the functional disability caused by the loss and to societal reactions to the facial impairment. Replacement of the lost eye as soon as possible is necessary to promote physical and psychological healing for the patient and to improvesocial acceptance. Enucleation of the eye is therefore normallyfollowed by faication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. An ocular prosthesis is created to restore a more normal anatomical structure and the cosmetic defect created by these conditions in a person.This case report elaborates the technique for faication of custom–made sclera prosthesis for an atrophic eye socket.
