Abstract

ABSTRACT An ocular prosthesis which gives attention to the accurate duplication of natural color, contour, size and ocular orientation will provide realism and symmetry for patients who need it. This article describes a simplified technique of converting a stock eye shell into a well-fitting custom ocular prosthesis that requires minimal clinical procedures and simplified laboratory procedures. The color matching of the sclera of the prosthesis was performed using light-cured resin-based stains that are simple to use and give a more predictable and lifelike appearance when compared to the conventional acrylic ‘paint on’ technique.
