Loss of eye has a bad effect on the psychology of the patient. Eye prosthesis is fabricated to regain the patient’s confidence by meticulous replacement of the missing eye. Immediate fitting of an anophthalmic socket with an artificial eye may not always be possible, and a delayed prosthesis delivery may result in settling and sinking of the prosthesis into the socket, therefore requiring orbit...

Although conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is known to develop as a result of chronic irritation from wearing an ocular prosthesis, orbital sebaceous gland carcinoma arising in an anophthalmic pocket is extremely rare. We report a 68-year-old female who developed a sebaceous gland carcinoma 65 years after her right eye was enucleated (at the age of three years) due to congenital glaucoma. Th...

BACKGROUND Immediate placement of a palatal prosthesis has become the standard of care after maxillectomy or palatectomy, except when free-flap reconstruction is used. Palatal prostheses are usually fabricated preoperatively. Infrequently, the surgeon may face a situation where upper jaw resection has been performed and a prefabricated prosthesis is not available. OBJECTIVE To describe a meth...

The eye is a vital organ and an important component of facial expression. Several ocular and orbital disorders require surgical intervention that may result in ocular defects. Loss of an eye has a crippling effect on the psychology of the patient. Enucleation of the eye is therefore normally followed by fabrication of an ocular prosthesis to improve esthetics. The primary purpose of an ocular p...

Ocular and orbital disorders leading to surgical procedures which generally results in ocular defects, if immediate intervention are done to preserve the anophthalmic socket size and giving the conformers to the patient, might lead to contractures of tissue after the surgical procedures. As in most of the cases the conformers are not given, this leads to delayed collapse of space for ocular pro...
