Follow-up assessments showed satisfactory prosthesis retention, minimal discomfort, and positive psychosocial impacts, including improved self-esteem and social interactions.
Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of individualized prosthetic solutions in managing congenital unilateral anophthalmia.
