Abstract

Background:  The loss of the facial structures can have a physical, social and psychological impact on those affected. Prosthetic rehabilitation of an ocular defect can be successfully achieved with stock eye using well fitting ocular tray and a proper impression technique. Accurate impressions of these tissues facilitate a close adaptation of the custom prosthesis to the tissue bed resulting in better potential for movement by the patient.  A custom-made ocular prosthesis is a good alternative. This article presents a technique for the fabrication of custom ocular tray and procedure for making impression of eye socket using the same.

Keywords: Ocular tray, ocular prosthesis, stock eye prosthesis.
