Abstract

Ocular prostheses serve as invaluable tools in restoring both visual symmetry and psychological well-being for individuals who have experienced ocular defects. This article presents a comprehensive overview of the fabrication and placement of custom acrylic ocular prosthesis in a 39-year-old male patient who suffered left eye loss following a traumatic accident. The patient's history underscores the profound impact of ocular trauma on self-image and quality of life, highlighting the importance of prosthetic rehabilitation. Meticulous attention was paid to every step of the fabrication process, including impression taking, color matching, and fitting, to ensure optimal aesthetic outcome and functionality. The successful placement of the prosthesis resulted in significant improvements in the patient's confidence and overall well-being. This case report emphasizes the approach required for successful ocular prosthetic rehabilitation and underscores the transformative impact of custom ocular prostheses in restoring quality of life for individuals with ocular defects.
