Ocular Defect

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.

AbstractThe disfigurement associated with the loss of an eye may result in significant physical and emotional problems. The article describes the successful rehabilitation of a patient with missing eye with a custom made ocular prosthesis. This allows the patient to be accepted in society without being a victim of unwanted sympathy.

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.

AbstractThe eye is a vital organ and an important component of facial expression. Loss of an eye has a crippling effect on the appearance and psychology of the patient. Surgical removal of the eye is therefore normally followed by fabrication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. A cosmetically acceptable prosthesis is that which reproduces the natural color, contour, size and iris orientation. A sequence of steps for the construction of custom made ocular prosthesis is outlined in this case report using a modified impression technique.

It is obvious that a person suffers from severe emotional, social, and psychological trauma when an eye is lost due to any reason. After evisceration, custom made ocular prosthesis can be used to improve facial aesthetics as well as social representation of that person. It is always a challenge to properly fabricate an alternate to the lost eye. But after fabrication, it certainly improves psychological satisfaction of the patient. In this case report, it is attempted to show how a patient was aesthetically rehabilitated with an ocular prosthesis. Key words: Ocular prosthesis, Ocular conformer, Scleral shell.
