A 76-year-old patient experienced a car accident several years earlier that resulted in the loss of his right eye (ocular prosthesis) and retinal detachment left eye, treated with scleral buckle. computed tomography scan head (Fig A) showed bilobed globe separated by ring hyperdensity (scleral buckle). Ultra-widefield fundus imaging B) demonstrated major circular indentation delimiting anterior...

Cognitive effort is reflected in pupil dilation, but the assessment of pupil size is potentially susceptible to changes in gaze position. This study exemplarily used sentence reading as a stand-in for paradigms that assess pupil size in tasks during which changes in gaze position are unavoidable. The influence of gaze position on pupil size was first investigated by an artificial eye model with...

At select wavelengths, near infrared (IR) light is absorbed in the preretinal media of the eye. This produces small transient increases in temperature that temporarily alter the local index of refraction. If the IR exposure is sufficiently high, a momentary reduction in the focusing power of the eye can be induced through an effect known as thermal lensing. Fundamental optical interaction and s...

AIMS To establish a correct method of evaluation and management of contracted sockets RESULTS Anopthalmic socket were frequently seen in orbit and Oculoplasty clinic of Aravind Eye Hospital, Madurai, South India. Prospective evaluation of Anophthalmic Sockets was done in this study. Anophthalmic Socket which can not support prosthetic eye is called contracted socket.4,5,14. These sockets were...

Eye loss in children can be caused by trauma, glaucoma, or cancer, and may result in anxiety and depression. Recovery after eye loss involves a replacement with a custom-made eye prosthesis, but, as the patient ages, changes in the size and shape of the eye socket can result in a sunken appearance of the child's prosthetic eye. This article describes the fabrication of a custom-made eye and the...

The archeology team of the Burnt City, supervised by Dr. Seyed Mansour Seyed Sejjadi, made a significant discovery in 2007. In this excavation, they discovered world's oldest artificial eye that belonged to a woman of 28-32 years (1) (Fig. 1-A). The artificial eye, discovered in an ancient grave, was in the left eye socket of the woman. The archeology team estimated the age of the eye between 2...

Background: Global blindness is mainly due to Cataract, after this Corneal disease the major cause. For end stage corneal disease, only successful treatment by providing Osteo-Odonto-Kerato-Prosthesis (OOKP). The dental surgeon will play a vital role in surgeon. After extracting canine tooth from patient, places acrylic lamina centre of dentine (Dental Lamina) which acts like an ocular lens, la...

UNLABELLED Accurate iris reproduction in the fabrication of ocular prosthesis in order to match the remaining eye is a key factor to mask the loss and achieve an esthetic outcome for anophthalmic patients. This study evaluated the stability of acrylic paints used for replicating iris color in ocular prostheses by the analysis of two factors: the temperature of the acrylic resin polymerization c...
