“…12 With increasing age, the ocular prosthesis certainly requires replacement or modification. According to the results of a survey by Raizada et al, 13 change of prosthesis or altering existing prosthesis in growing children was required in 41% children between 18 and 26 months after the prosthesis was delivered.…”

The eye is one of the vital sense organs. Apart from being a physical disability, the psychological impact can be quite traumatic. The early cosmetic restoration of acquired defects boosts the patient's confidence and enhances maintenance of tissue health. The following article describes a technique to customize a prosthesis in a patient of the pediatric age group. Such a fabricated prosthesis adapts better than prefabricated stock prosthesis and the accurate positioning of the iris disk enhances the esthetic outcome.

“…Variations in how often children require new artificial eyes were highlighted in this study, ranging from 1to 4 years with 2 years being the average. Rather than provide a time-span to the change of an artificial eye, Raizada et al [23] and Shaikh et al [24] reported that a change is indicated when the prosthesis rotates within the socket, lose fit, decentration of the cornea and discolouration of the prosthesis.…”

Questionnaire study to gain an insight into the manufacturing and fitting process of artificial eyes in children: an ocularist perspective

et al. 2016

PurposeTo gain an insight into the manufacturing and fitting of artificial eyes in children and potential improvements to the process.MethodAn online qualitative survey was distributed to 39 ocularists/prosthetists in Europe and Canada. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling, specifically maximum variation sampling from the researcher’s contacts and an online search.ResultsThe findings highlighted the current impression technique as being the most difficult yet most important part of the current process for both the ocularist and child patient. Negatively affecting obtaining a good impression, the child patients distress can be reduced by their parents by providing encouragement, reassurance, practicing the insertion and removal of the artificial eye and being matter of fact. Whilst improvements to the current process provided mixed views, the incorporation of current technology was perceived as not being able to meet the requirements to produce aesthetically pleasing artificial eyes.ConclusionThe current artificial eye process can be seen as an interaction with its success being dependent on the child patient’s acceptance and adjustment which is dependent on the factors associated to the process. Investigation into the needs of the patient and whether technology can improve the process are the next steps in its advancement.

“…Placement of prosthesis has been proven to play a definite role in stimulating the orbital growth. In the early childhood, orbital volume increases in a linear fashion78 and a change of prosthesis is required between 18 months and 26 months following prosthesis placement in children 9. The regular replacement or modification of prosthesis is important to give continuous stimulus for socket growth 10…”

A multidisciplinary approach for ocular rehabilitation following surgical treatment of retinoblastoma: One year follow-up

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Retinoblastoma is a highly malignant neoplasm. Most of the cases are usually advanced at the time of detection, requiring enucleation to salvage the child's life. Just treating the patient for cancer is not enough; the cosmetic rehabilitation of these patients is equally important and it should always be an integral part of their treatment, to help them re-integrate in the aesthetic conscious society. Rehabilitating such patients require a multidisciplinary approach involving the combined and timely efforts of an ophthalmologist, paediatric oncologist and a skilled maxillofacial prosthodontist. This paper presents a case of 3½-year-old girl who had enucleation of her right eye due to retinoblastoma along with chemotherapy and radiotherapy at the age of 3 years. The patient was recalled regularly for follow-up at 3 month intervals for ophthalmic examinations and she was rehabilitated cosmetically with customised ocular prosthesis during the various stages of her developmental growth.

Custom Ocular Prosthesis in Children: How Often is a Change Required?

Abstract: A change of prosthesis is required between 18-26 months following prosthesis placement in children. Over an average of 18 months, a change in the prosthesis was required in 41%, with the youngest age group having the highest exchange rate (47%), and the oldest group the lowest (29%).
