Eye prosthesis

By Anuprabha Babu

"The face is the mirror of the soul and eyes without speaking confess the secret of the heart". The eye is a vital organ in terms of vision and also an important feature of facial expression. The loss or the absence of an eye can be caused by several factors like congenital defect, trauma, tumour, a painful blind eye, sympathetic ophthalmic or the need for histological confirmation of a suspected diagnosis. The disfigurement associated with loss of an eye can cause significant physical and emotional problems. Most patients experience significant stress, due to primarily adjusting to the functional disability caused by the loss and to societal reactions to the facial impairment.
