Loss of an eye or any body part has an intimidating and crippling effect on the psychosocial well-being of the patient. Although the artificial prosthesis cannot restore the function, it can highly improve the patient’s esthetics and help them regain their psychological confidence. Literature has advocated various rehabilitation modalities including empirical use of stock shells, modifying stock eyes, custom-made ocular prostheses, ocular implants, etc. A custom-made ocular prosthesis, among all the techniques, shows improved adaptation to tissue bed, distributes uniform pressure, provides a more esthetic and precise result, and is relatively cost-effective. This case report explores a relatively comprehensive method of custom ocular prosthesis fabrication for an ocular defect with a satisfactory outcome.

Phthisis bulbi is an ocular condition caused by wound healing secondary to severe trauma, inflammation, or necrotising tumours of the eye. It represents an ocular endstage disease characterised by atrophy, shrinkage, disorganisation of the eyeball, and intraocular contents. Disfigurement associated with the eye can cause significant physical and emotional disturbance. Prosthetic rehabilitation over the residual eyeball is the preferred treatment of choice over surgical intervention such as enucleation or evisceration. Treatment of such patients is challenging and a multidisciplinary approach is required to provide a satisfactory ocular prosthesis. This case report describes the prosthetic management of a patient with phthisis bulbi by a novel impression-less technique. The initial unsaid communication that takes place between two individuals is through their “eyes”. A confident person will always maintain eye contact while conversing. They are the organs of the visual system which are sensitive to various stimuli.1 Any anomaly involving the eyes causes psychological, emotional, and aesthetic trauma to the patient. Phthisis bulbi is an ocular condition due to multifactorial conditions such as delayed wound healing secondary to severe trauma, infections such as keratitis, uveitis and endophthalmitis. Also, some failed surgical procedures including cataract, glaucoma, retinal surgery and intraocular malignancies like choroidal melanoma, retinoblastoma as well as systemic diseases like diabetes or hypertension may result in phthisis bulbi.2,3 The name “Phthisis bulbi” comes from a Greek word which means “to waste away” or “shrinkage. It is a histopathological diagnosis of end-stage non-functional ocular disease showing atrophy, shrinkage, and disorganisation of the eye and intraocular contents. Clinically, the eyes have no perception of light due to intraocular calcium deposition within band keratopathy, cataractous lens, sclera, gliotic neural retina, or within an optic nerve in the phthisical eye.4 Surgical procedures are not desired in a patient of phthisis bulbi unless it becomes painful. Hence, prosthetic rehabilitation is the only preferred treatment of choice in the patient with phthisis bulbi.5 A properly fabricated custom-made prosthesis enhances the patient's comfort, confidence, and aesthetics by increased adaptiveness, natural appearance, and functional stimulation.6 Hence, we devised an innovative approach to fabricate an ocular prosthesis for a patient suffering from phthisis bulbi by using an impression less technique which has been described in this case report.

Eye is a vital organ not only for vision but it is also important component of facial expression. The disfigurement associated with loss of eye can cause significant physical and emotional problem. There are several techniques documented in the literature for fabricating the artificial eye. This is a case report of fabricating ocular prosthesis with stock iris and custom made sclera to provide aesthetically satisfactory result and better fit.

Background: The loss of an eye has a crippling effect on the psychology of the patient, making rehabilitation process challenging for both doctor and patient. Objective: To report a case of anophthalmic socket with prosthetic rehabilitation in a cost effective manner. Case: A 32-year-old female presented with anophthalmic socket for prosthetic rehabilitation. A custom made ocular prosthesis was implanted successfully. Conclusion: The custom made ocular prosthesis is simple, affordable and can be carried out in a small clinical set-up and provides a superior natural appearance.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i2.6550 Nepal J Ophthalmol 2012; 4 (2): 312-314

An ocular defect may affect a patient psychologically and an ocular prosthesis is given to uplift the patient psychologically and improve the confidence. Defects of the eye may follow the removal of a part of or the entire orbit. This results in the patient becoming visually and psychologically handicapped. Restoring the defect with a prosthesis not only restores esthetics but also gives back the lost confidence to the patient. This is a case report of a patient with a prosthetic eye fabricated by the combination of a stock eye and a custom ocular prosthesis.
