Abstract
Background: This case report aims to detail the fabrication and implementation of a custom ocular prosthesis for a patient with unilateral congenital anophthalmia. This study highlights the innovative approach, the procedures undertaken, and the significant outcomes achieved.
Case Report: A detailed assessment of the patient's anophthalmic socket was conducted. A custom impression technique was used to fabricate the prosthesis, ensuring optimal fit and aesthetic appearance. The process included impression making, customized prosthesis design, and fitting sessions.
Results: The custom ocular prosthesis achieved excellent aesthetic integration, restoring facial symmetry and enhancing the patient's appearance. 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.
