“…A eficácia e escolha de cada método dependem da experiência do profissional e dos materiais disponíveis 9 . No presente relato clínico, foi utilizada a técnica descrita por Mathews et al 10 Bartlett e Moore 11 e Maia et al 6 na qual a moldagem é realizada através da injeção do material com seringa plástica e com moldeira individual de resina acrílica, perfurada com uma adaptação de um conduto central para acoplar a seringa, confeccionada a partir da prótese ocular do próprio paciente.…”

ResumoIntrodução: A perda ocular é muito constrangedora ao seu portador; e a reabilitação por meio de próteses consegue devolver a estética e parte da função perdida. Objetivo: relatar um caso de reabilitação de paciente com anoftalmia unilateral por meio de prótese ocular. Relato de Caso: Foi realizada moldagem da cavidade com hidrocolóide irreversível, o molde foi incluído em mufla e foi prensada a resina acrílica ocular termicamente ativada (RAOTA) previamente selecionada, cor N3. A esclera artificial obtida foi provada no paciente e recebeu os ajustes necessários. Depois, foi realizada a centralização da pupila, foi confeccionado o platô, a íris artificial foi pintada e colada sobre o platô. A superfície da sclera recebeu a caracterização e o conjunto foi recoberto com RAOTA incolor. A prótese ocular recebeu acabamento, polimento e foi instalada. O paciente recebeu instruções de uso e higienização. Foi observado que após a instalação da prótese a estética facial foi restaurada, o suporte palpebral restabelecido, o direcionamento lacrimal foi corrigido e o indivíduo foi reinserido ao convívio social. Conclusão: O tratamento reabilitador atingiu o objetivo de restaurar a estética facial e foi de grande importância para o paciente, pois devolve a autoestima perdida e permitiu que o mesmo retornasse à sociedade. Descritores: Reabilitação; Olho Artificial; Anoftalmia. AbstractIntroduction: Eye loss is very embarrassing to its wearer; and rehabilitation through prostheses can restore aesthetics and part of the lost function. Purpose: To report a case of unilateral anophthalmic patient rehabilitation through ocular prosthesis. Clinical report: An impression of the socket was made with irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. Flasking was done and packing was done with the selected heat cure ocular acrylic resin (HCAR) color N3. The obtained artificial sclera was tested in patient and received the necessary adjustments. Then, the centralization of the pupil was performed, plateau was made, artificial iris was painted and glued on the plateau. The sclera surface received characterization and the whole was covered with colorless HCAR. Finally, the ocular prosthesis was finished, polished, and it was installed. The patient was instructed about the use and cleaning. It was observed that after installing the prosthesis facial aesthetic was restored, lid support has been restored and corrected tear direction, in addition to the integration of the individual to social life. Conclusion: The rehabilitation treatment achieved its goal of restoring facial aesthetics and was of great importance for the patient, because it redeemed the lost self-esteem and can return to social life without constraints.

“…A custom‐made ocular prosthesis replicates the orientation, natural color, contour, and size of the pupil and iris, providing realism and symmetry to the patient's face. In addition, it improves the fit of the prosthesis by gaining the intimate tissue adaptation 17 . Positioning of the iris is an important step in fabrication of the custom‐made ocular prosthesis, which helps achieve better esthetics and self‐esteem of the patient.…”

We report two cases of ocular prosthesis fabrication that make use of a transparent graph grid for positioning the iris disk. The custom-made ocular prostheses achieved intimate contact with the tissue bed enabling ideal fit. As asymmetry may result in a squint-eyed appearance, proper positioning of the iris disk in the scleral wax pattern is vital to fabricating the custom-made artificial eye. The position of the iris disk in the custom-made ocular prosthesis was in symmetry with that of the natural eye, restoring esthetics of the patient.

“…A number of techniques have been advocated for achieving optimal fit of ocular prostheses, such as the direct impression/external impression, use of a stock ocular tray, modification of a stock ocular tray, use of a custom ocular tray, an impression using a stock ocular prosthesis, ocular prosthesis modification, and the wax scleral blank technique . However, we have observed that clinically all these techniques cause discomfort for the patient during the fitting process.…”

This article describes an alternative two-step ocular prosthesis impression technique that employs two materials of different consistencies. The method is intended to provide better adaptation to underlying tissues, increased mobility of the prosthesis owing to improvements in facial contours, and improved esthetics, as well as offering the patient greater comfort and security. These advantages and this prosthesis' relative ease of fabrication mean it should be considered as the first step in the management of untreated anophthalmic sockets.
