Ocular trauma is a very common incidence that occurs in up to 67% of patients with maxillofacial trauma. It results in life-long agony of not being like others with two eyes, which can see and admire the nature’s beauty. This article reports on a case of a 23-year-old male patient with phthisis bulbi, resulting from ocular trauma. The patient was rehabilitated aesthetically by fabrication of custom-made ocular prosthesis for his traumatically injured right eye. The patient was pleased with the aesthetic outcome, comfort, and mobility offered by the custom ocular prosthesis. There were no complications with regard to health of underlying residual ocular tissues and there was no need of relining of the prosthesis at 6 month recall appointment. Rehabilitation of patients with ocular trauma requires a multidisciplinary approach involving ophthalmologist, psychologist, and skilled maxillofacial prosthodontist. Custom-made ocular prosthesis fitted over the phthisical globe seems to be a highly positive, logical, noninvasive, and beneficial approach to increase mobility to the prosthesis, improve the cosmetic appearance and psychological well-being of the patient.

“…Various materials, including impression compound, plaster of Paris, hydrocolloids and elastomeric impression materials have been used in making facial impressions [8][9][10][11][12]. Irreversible hydrocolloid was used to make the facial impression for this patient because it is static, easy to manipulate, fast setting, non irritant, elastic with reasonable dimensional accuracy and detail reproduction.…”

Mutilation of a portion of a face can cause a heavy impact on the self image and personality of an individual. Surgical removal of an eye is a severe handicap to a patient because the most important sensory organ of communication is lost. Depending on the severity of the defect Ocular/Orbital prosthesis are required in these patients for rehabilitation. This case report details the clinical management of a patient following enbloc removal of an eye. Fabrication of a sectional two piece orbital prosthesis has been detailed. The importance of meticulous treatment planning to tackle the challenges faced in fabricating an orbital prosthesis is explained with relevant literature.

“…However, in majority of cases of enucleation custom ocular prosthesis is advantageous as there is improved adaptation to underlying tissues, increased mobility of the prosthesis, and acceptable esthetics due to better match of the size and color of the iris and sclera. Nevertheless, a custom prosthesis is more expensive than a stock prosthesis, and several steps are required for its fabrication [2].…”

The fundamental objective in restoring a congenital as well as acquired defect of eye with an ocular prosthesis is to enable the patient to cope better with the difficult process of rehabilitation after an enucleation or evisceration. A cosmetically acceptable prosthesis is that reproduces the color, form and orientation of iris and allows the patient to return to accustomed lifestyle. A sequence of steps for construction of custom-made ocular prostheses is outlined in this case report using the advantages of digital imaging technique.
