Eye are very much important part of human body organs, in
some cases person born with congenital conditions such as scarred cornea, or
leucocorea, Sclero-cornea or someone who lost eyes at later stage of life, cosmetic
correction become very very important for such individuals.
Cosmetic correction can be done with the help of oculoplasty
surgeon, in case of some one eye
is painful, disfigured and bulging
forward where a prosthetic shell
is impossible to fit, such individual
may have to go carefully evisceration as in case of manifest condition
such as melanoma of eye, can lead to very sever problem, before going to evisceration
or destructive procedure a Ultrasound of eye is very much needed, and decision
to be taken.
Once the implant is placed, following 6-8 weeks of surgery,
consultation with ocularist is desirable, how ever if the ocularist is know
earlier, it is better as some time conformer which had been placed during
surgery seems to be small or too big, a ocularist can find the best fit
conformer, so that socket does not shrink and fits well, where after 6 weeks a
impression of socket will be taken with the use of hydrophilic colloid which give your ocularist a base to start.
With the wax shape which is being made by the impression of
socket, help in improving the appearance of the defect such as volume loss,
enophthalmic appearance, drooping of upper lids, and make a perfect position of
Iris (Black portion of the eye) to look more symmetrical.
This shape will be further molded in stone molds to make the
final shapes in Poly Methyla metha acrylate to give a dimension stability of the prosthesis,
A iris which will be painted in Black painting disc to match
the fellow eye is also prepared at the same time and fused with a corneal unit
and cut on lathe machine to match the size of the normal eye. This is also
placed in the mold and cured at 110 degree temperature so that it become one pcs
prosthesis, after this vesseling and tinting of scleral shade is being done and
eye will be cured at 85 degree temperature, and coated with Clear coat of
PMMA,. Once the adequate polymerization happens, it will be polished and ready
to restore the appearance of the lost eye.
How ever one should visit ocularist after 6 months for
evaluation and polishing of the prosthesis, so that it remains fresh as always.
