Orbital Implants and Ocular Prostheses: A comprehensive review
Abstract
The loss of an eye can be a very traumatic event in a person’s life, not only medically, but also emotionally. F or many, the face and eyes help represent who they are, and it is common for these patients to feel as if a part of them has been lost. It is the responsibility of ophthalmologists and eye care providers, as they journey with patients through the process of eye removal and artificial eye placement, to provide the best possible functional and cosmetic results.
