Abstract
The loss of an eye is disturbing and affects social interaction. Rehabilitation with prosthesis restores comfort, aesthetics, and confidence, improving the quality of life. This study aims to report a case of rehabilitation using ocular prosthesis of an unilateral anophthalmic cavity. An impression of the socket was made with irreversible hydrocolloid material. An acrylic resin was used for flasking and packing. The obtained artificial sclera was tested and adjusted in the patient for functional and aesthetic performance of eyelid function and facial harmony. An iris was painted and centralized into a plateau of the sclera, before performing specific characterization. The ocular prosthesis was polished and installed. The patient was instructed on maintenance and hygiene. Facial aesthetics were restored; function of eyelid muscles and tear direction were restored jointly for integration of the individual into his social life.
