“…However since prosthesis service is sparse patients made do with whatever is available to them. Song et al (2006) found about 72% of anopthalmic patients were satisfi ed with their ocular prosthesis. However recent studies by Ahn et al (2010) in Korea and Rasmussen (2010) in Denmark found a lower quality of life among anopthalmic patients compared to their normal counterpart.…”

“…Ocular losses arising from congenital deformities, cancer, or trauma [1][2][3][4][5][6] cause aesthetic damage, as they result in asymmetry and, consequently, facial disfigurement. [1][2][3][4][7][8][9][10] The ocular prosthesis is a rehabilitative option that is safe, generally aesthetically pleasing, and satisfactory from a treatment point of view.…”

Abstract. Ocular prostheses are important determinants of their users' aesthetic recovery and self-esteem. Because of use, ocular prostheses longevity is strongly affected by instability of the iris color due to polymerization. The goal of this study is to examine how the color of the artificial iris button is affected by different techniques of artificial wear and by the application of varnish following polymerization of the colorless acrylic resin that covers the colored paint. We produce 60 samples (n ¼ 10) according to the wear technique applied: conventional technique without varnish (PE); conventional technique with varnish (PEV); technique involving a prefabricated cap without varnish (CA); technique involving a prefabricated cap with varnish (CAV); technique involving inverted painting without varnish (PI); and technique involving inverted painting with varnish (PIV). Color readings using a spectrophotometer are taken before and after polymerization. We submitted the data obtained to analyses of variance and Tukey's test (P < 0.05). The color test shows significant changes after polymerization in all groups. The PE and PI techniques have clinically acceptable values of ΔE, independent of whether we apply varnish to protect the paint. The PI technique produces the least color change, whereas the PE and CA techniques significantly improve color stability.

“…[22][23][24] The ocular prosthesis causes mechanical trauma to the tarsal conjunctiva, thus altering the meibomian gland structure. 3,25 Furthermore, poor hygiene with the prosthetic eye can lead to inflammation of the anophthalmic socket. Discharge from inflammation of anophthalmic socket can also cause meibomian gland obstruction.…”

Purpose Long-standing prosthetic eye wearing induces ocular surface inflammation. We investigated the short-term effects of topical cyclosporine A 0.05% (Restasis) in patients with ocular discomfort resulting from long-standing prosthetic eye wearing. Methods This was a prospective, interventional case series. Patients who were unilateral prosthetic eye wearers over a period of 5 years were enrolled at a single institution from March to July 2013. The subjects were instructed to instill topical cyclosporine A 0.05% twice per day. Measurements were made pre-treatment and after 1 and 3 months of treatment. Outcome measures were the ocular symptom score, the lid margin abnormality score, the Schirmer test, and the tear meniscus amount, using Fourier-domain optical coherence tomography. Results In total, 20 consecutive patients (mean age: 60.1 years, 8 males, 12 females) were included. Ocular symptoms were improved after treatment for 1 month in all patients (ocular symptom score pre-treatment 76.83 vs 46.75 after treatment; Po0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in lid margin abnormality score or tear meniscus amount. The Schirmer test results were improved after treatment for 3 months (pre-and after treatment, 6.70 vs 11.40; Po0.001). Conclusions Topical cyclosporine A 0.05% showed a satisfactory effect in long-standing prosthetic eye wearers. Ocular symptoms were markedly relieved in all subjects after treatment for 1 month.

A survey of satisfaction in anophthalmic patients wearing ocular prosthesis

Abstract: Patient satisfaction with ocular prosthesis was relatively high. Successful peg insertion to improve the prosthesis movement may be one way for surgeons to increase patient satisfaction.
