Zusammenfassung: | Trauma, cancer, and congenital abnormalities are the three main causes of eye loss. A person's personal and professional life is left with functional, aesthetic, and psychological problems when they lose one eye. A customized ocular prosthesis made of heat-cured polymethylmethacrylate can be used to restore an eye defect. Fabrication of the customized ocular prosthesis has multiple steps including scleral plank fabrication, iris positioning, and characterization. This article's primary goal is to explain a novel method for iris positioning for better cosmetic outcomes. |
