Abstract :

In order to restore the appearance and functionality of the eye to those who have lost their sight due to accident, surgery, tumors, or congenital eye problems, orbital prosthesis are essential. Various materials and procedures are employed in the prosthesis's creation. Of the materials that were accessible, resin turned out to be superior. Both utilizing a stock eye and a tailored prosthetic have benefits and drawbacks. We have created a bespoke orbital prosthesis with a bespoke eyeball and sclera through our clinical report. The patient's quality of life was eventually improved by the personalized prosthesis, which also offered an outstanding match, increased comfort, and boosted self-confidence.
