Abstract

Loss of eye has immense intimidating impact on social life of a patient. Ocular prosthesis can be stock prosthesis, or it can be customized according to the patient's socket tissue bed and his/her individualized aesthetic requirements. There are many methods of improving aesthetics of the ocular prosthesis, from painting the sclera and iris, use of transparent grids for proper orientation up to the use of digital photographic image of contra-lateral normal eye. Present case report demonstrates a new method of enhancing the aesthetics of an eye prosthesis using silk fibers which are easily available.
