This question can be answered by tracking the motion of the eye while it executes the task. Following many individuals performing various search tasks, we distinguish between two competing strategies. Motivated by these findings, we introduce a model that captures the interplay o...

Ocular prosthesis motility was measured and compared in 15 patients with a primary baseball implant after enucleation of an eye, in 11 patients with a secondary baseball implant, in 12 patients with an Allen implant, and in 11 patients without any intraorbital implant. In all patients a noticeable lag of movement of the prosthetic eye was measured: in the extreme directions of gaze the excursio...

Making an impression of the anophthalmic socket to facilitate the design of a custom made ocular prosthesis is a common practice. Different impression techniques can be used for its fabrication. The modified impression technique described here requires minimum laboratory procedures as the preliminary impression, secondary impression and wax trial can be done as a single stage procedure.

This study aims to explore the psychosocial factors and challenges affecting lives of those who wear an ocular prosthesis following a traumatic eye injury. Thematic analysis semi-structured interviews with eight individuals resulted in five themes: emotional devastation aftermath; moving forward; fear negative social evaluation; keeping it normal - protecting self close others; threat injury & ...
