An orbital defect causes severe facial asymmetry and disfigurement that result in an immense emotional trauma to the patient and is also associated with economic, esthetic, and psychological problems. A prosthetic replacement is the treatment of choice in helping individual to return to his normal life by producing an acceptable and lifelike appearance. This case report describes the critical areas of fabrication of ocular prosthesis for a patient with missing right eye due to trauma to eye ball in an accident. Patient had given a history of surgical enucleation of the eye 15 days after ocular trauma. A polymethyl methacrylate ocular prosthesis was planned. The technique described in this case report presents the use of both custom-made and stock eye shell in an attempt to include the benefits of both. A novel attempt was made to simulate eye movements and exact color matching to that of contralateral eye to provide a better and functional ocular prosthesis to the patient.
眼眶缺损会导致严重的面部不对称和毁容，给患者带来巨大的情感创伤，还会引发经济、美学和心理问题。假体置换是首选治疗方法，通过打造可接受且逼真的外观帮助患者回归正常生活。本病例报告描述了一名因意外眼球外伤导致右眼缺失患者的眼假体制作关键环节。患者有眼球外伤后15天进行手术摘除眼球的病史。计划制作一个聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯眼假体。本病例报告中描述的技术展示了定制眼壳和标准眼壳的联合使用，以期兼顾两者的优点。进行了一项创新性尝试，模拟眼球运动并使其颜色与对侧眼睛精确匹配，为患者提供更好且具备功能的眼假体。
