Rehabilitation with Custom Ocular Prosthesis Following Traumatic Enucleation: A Case Report
Abstract: The human eye is a vital component of facial esthetics, and its loss can significantly impact a person's physical appearance, social life, psychological health, and overall mental outlook. Eye loss can result from surgical procedures such as enucleation, evisceration, or exenteration, which are performed to treat a range of underlying conditions. Following such interventions, the use of an ocular prosthesis becomes essential for both functional and aesthetic rehabilitation. Various materials and fabrication techniques are available, tailored to the specific needs of each case. This case report describes the successful rehabilitation of a 32 - year - old female patient who underwent enucleation of her left eye due to traumatic injury. A custom - made ocular prosthesis was designed and fitted, achieving excellent cosmetic results and significantly enhancing the patient's psychological well - being. This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in ocular prosthetic rehabilitation.
