Abstract

The loss of one eye may be due to a congenital defect, pathology or trauma requiring the surgical removal of eyeball. This causes significant physical and emotional disturbance to the patient. Psychological distress can be reduced by timely replacement with an artificial eye. This preliminary report describes the fabrication of the custom made acrylic resin ocular prosthesis (CMAROP) with a modified technique where a stock eye shell has been used to fabricate a custom ocular impression tray. Try in was done on the same day. The CMAROP achieves intimate contact with the tissue bed and creates functional and esthetically pleasing results.
