The main objective of an ocular prosthesis is to recover facial symmetry lost because of an absence or deterioration of the ocular globe.
At the same time it restores normal tear secretion and evacuation, demonstrating they are not merely esthetic.
The psychological impact patients suffer after losing an eye is also very important interfering in different aspects of everyday life. Thus an ocular prosthesis is of great help to begin recovering mentally and progress on to our natural, intelectual and psychological development.
In order for all of this to be acomplished, it is mandatory that the prosthesis must be created following the best quality standards. Only then a fast adaptation and tolerance to the prosthesis would be achieved. It is necessary to master the printing technique, use the correct curvature radii with each patient, use high quality materials to minimize any alergic reactions and use a manual and artisan technique to paint each iris. The ocular prosthesis will then be unique.
We must not forget a routinary observation of each case by qualified personnel is vital to control the orbits condition and avoid any possible future complication.
