| Popis: |
The loss of an eye in a child patient has a psycho-logical impact on the growth and social acceptance. Replacement of the lost eye as soon as possible is necessary in such cases to enable the patient to cope better with the difficult process of rehabilitation. Here is a ten-year old child patient, who had undergone enucleation of her right eye due to carcinoma. After the enucleation patient was not using any prosthesis for a period of five years. Hence, initially the enucleated eye socket was restored with a modified stock ocular prosthesis followed by its replacement with more definitive custom-made ocular prosthesis. Thus, emphasizing that, cosmetic rehabilitation with the help of ocular prosthesis of an appropriate size, colour and contour can prove to be of value functionally as well as aesthetically. The prosthetic eye promotes physical and psycho-logical healing for the child patient and improves the social acceptance. |
