“…Here, the iris was precisely located and positioned using a clear graph template, as opposed to relying solely on visual evaluation, which might result in inter-observer variability due to parallax errors and binocular vision problems. This approach is simple to use and can be implemented in any type of therapeutic setting, pupillometer was commonly used in older days [ 12 , 13 ]. Each of these techniques had a subjective quality and was susceptible to operator bias.…”

Prosthetic eye implantation is a significant intervention for individuals facing ocular trauma or congenital defects. We present the case of an eight-year-old boy who underwent prosthetic eye implantation following enucleation due to a severe injury. The patient had suffered from impaired vision and psychological distress due to the visible absence of his natural eye. The prosthetic eye not only restored his facial symmetry but also revitalized his self-esteem and confidence. This case report highlights the successful outcome of prosthetic eye implantation in pediatric patients and underscores the importance of addressing both physical and psychological aspects of ocular trauma in young individuals.

“…Graph sheet has been used by various authors for estimation of size and position of iris. 12 13 14 Transparent grid paper on frontoparallel acrylic glasses, 15 graph grid printed on a transparent sheet placed directly over patient's face 16 or attached to suitable eyewear 17 has been highlighted in literature. In the present case series modification of graph grid using spectacle, cassette holder Fig.…”

Primary goal in successful rehabilitation of a patient with ocular defect is to fabricate a well-fitted ocular prosthesis that mimics the original shape and position of the residual anatomical structures and restores volume of the defective socket. Adequate palpebral opening, iris-scleral visibility, color and size of iris, centering of pupil, shade of sclera, proper fixation of gaze and characterization of prosthesis are the key aspects that deserve meticulous attention. Fixation of gaze and selection of iris size can be achieved by various techniques. Four techniques involving usage of millimeter markings and numerical values with armamentarium such as spectacles with graphic grid, cassette holder with grid, modified graphic grid ruler, RS-3 Ophthalmic pupil distance meter coupled with digital imaging technique for iris selection are highlighted through these case series.

“…The method described here is straightforward and can be carried out in any clinical setup. 14 Acrylic resin is used to fabricate the definitive prosthesis as it is most common material used because of its biocompatibility, esthetic and durability in terms of colour, cost and availability. A custom ocular prosthesis is a good option when reconstruction by plastic surgery or use of osseo-integrated implants is not possible or desired.…”

The main objective in restoration of an anophthalmic socket with an ocular prosthesis is to enable the patient to better cope with the difficult process of rehabilitation. 1 The loss of part of the face effects mainly physical, social, and psychological behaviour of the people affected. 2 Maxillofacial prosthesis restores and replaces stomatognathic and associated facial structures with artificial substitutes which improves patient's aesthetics, restores and maintains health of the remaining structures, and consequently provides physical and mental well-being. 3 The loss or absence of an eye which is caused by a congenital defect, irreparable trauma, tumour, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmia needs evaluation through histologic confirmation of a suspected diagnosis. 4 Ocular morbidity is a major concern from clinical and socioeconomic perspectives, especially in East Asian countries, in view of its high prevalence and projections for increasing rate and severity of the condition 5 . Ocular prosthesis is a technique sensitive procedure requiring accurate duplication of natural colour, size, contour and ocular orientation which will provide realism and symmetry to the patient. In the current study the reason for blindness was open angle glaucoma. The surgical management of ocular defect includes evisceration, enucleation, or exenteration. Evisceration is a surgical procedure in which the intraocular contents of the globe are removed, leaving the sclera, Tenon's capsule, conjunctiva, extraocular muscles, and optic nerve undisturbed. 4 Enucleation is the surgical removal of the globe and a portion of the optic nerve from the orbit. 4 Exenteration is the en-bloc removal of the entire orbit, usually involving partial or total removal of the eyelids, and is performed primarily for eradication of malignant orbital tumors. 4 There are numerous techniques for processing an ocular prosthesis. 6,7,8,9 Mathews et al 10 classified ocular impression and fitting techniques which suggest using an improved technique for custom fabrication of ocular impression tray to obtain a better-fitting custom-made ocular prosthesis. The current article describes rehabilitation of ocular defect of patient who has suffered from trauma and undergone enucleation and describes the various steps involved in fabrication of ocular prosthesis using stock eye. It is characterized according to the contra-lateral eye and gives proper cosmetic results than the stock eye shells. The current case report discusses fabrication of an ocular prosthesis which is custom made and is hollow to reduce weight.
