Abstract

An ocular defect may follow removal of a part or an entire orbit that results in visual impairment as well as esthecially and psychologically handicapped. Loosing eye is trauma not just to the patient but also for the family members. Restoring an ocular defect bring backs esthetics but also the confidence that has been lost. Rehabilitation is also very important as this also preserves the contour of remaining structure. Different materials can be used for ocular defects rehabilitation like silicone or acrylic. This is a case report of a patient with a ‘pthisicial eye’ and mainly focussed on the fabrication of an ocular prosthesis.

Keywords: Enucleation, Ocular, Prosthesis, Scleral Shell.
